Hi, I'm a new Wisp-Dist user, but so far I've been extremely impressed. I've installed the distribution on a few embedded devices and had them up and running in no time. The developers have done an excellent job. In addition, I have been able to follow the instructions on installing TLA and building the image myself. This was also straight forward and worked well. I'd now like to be able to modify the distribution by removing specific packages, upgrading certain components to newer versions, and also building in some of my own kernel modules so that they are included in my custom distribution. I was wondering if there is any documentation that is available that might help me in doing this. More specifically: 1) I'd like to upgrade the kernel to either a newer version of 2.4 or better yet to the current stable 2.6 kernel. This would enable me to build the Prism54 drivers into the kernel in order to support 802.11G cards with the distribution. 2) I'd also like to upgrade the host AP drivers that come with the distribution. The current host AP drivers I believe are not the most recent stable releases. I'm sure the current ones work fine, but some of the specific things I need to do require functionality that is only in the newer version of the driver. 3) I'd also like to stick one of my own kernel modules in the distribution and add a /etc/init.d script to load and configure my module when the system boots. If anyone has a link to any documentation that would help me to be able to accomplish this, it would be greatly appreciated. In addition, if anyone has any tips on how to go about doing these things, they would also be appreciated. Thanks a lot. -Herb ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
