RE: Wireless support

Okay - how I went about it

I needed to change a compile time option for the rtk8139 module, so I did it
this way
1)	I got the kernel source for the same version of the kernel as PXEs
was using at the time
2)	Untarred the kernel source to /usr/src/linux-PXEs
3)	Copied the .config file from PXEs to /usr/src/linux-PXEs/.config
4)	In /usr/src/linux-PXEs I did a make oldconfig
5)	Then a make menuconfig and turned on the various options I wanted.
Leave your network cards and sound cards as modules, but you can turn off
nics and sound cards you don't have.
6)	make dep bzImage modules modules_install
7)	coffee
8)	The kernel is now in /usr/src/linux-PXEs/arch/i386/boot/bzImage
	The modules are in /lib/modules/2.4.20/
	You need to copy the kernel to
	/opt/pxes-0.8/stock/arch/i586/kernel/vmlinuz-2.4.20
	and copy the module tree from /lib/modules/2.4.20 to
	/opt/pxes-0.8/stock/arch/i586/modules/lib/modules/2.4.20
9)	Then run pxesconfig and on the first page, enter the above
information.
10)	Go through and make your new images from there.
11)	Then you will have to open the image (somehow) and tell it to run
whatever wireless config commands you need (iwconfig eth0 ssid YourSSID key
s:YourWepKeyHERE ) etc

Good luck!

If there are no modules available already, will someone point me in the
right direction on how to add them?
