Salve, ho un problema con l'installazione del driver hostap per la mia scheda pcmcia z-com xi-325hp+

Parto col dire che ho un acer travelmate 529 e ho installato la opensuse 10.2.
Effettuato tutti gli aggiornamenti sicurezza e quelli disponibili per i prg installati (quelli standard di opensuse).

Il kernel e' alla versione 2.6.18.8-0.5

La scheda viene rilevata correttamente come wlan0.
Al momento dell'aggiornamento del driver hostap all'ultima versione 0.4.9 usando questi comandi:

<br />ifconfig wlan0 down<br />wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=disable<br />/etc/init.d/CardBus stop<br />rmmod prism2_pci<br />rmmod hostap_pci<br />wget http://hostap.epitest.fi/releases/hostap-driver-0.4.9.tar.gz<br />tar -xvzf hostap-driver-0.4.9.tar.gz<br />cd hostap-driver-0.4.9<br />wget http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/hostap-driver-0.4.7.patch<br />patch -Np1 -i hostap-driver-0.4.7.patch<br />make &amp;&amp; make install<br />mv -f /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf~<br />/etc/init.d/pcmcia start<br />modprobe hostap_pci &amp;&gt;/dev/null<br />

ottengo questi errori:

Sull'errore del comando wlanctl-ng penso ci sia solo da rivedere le opzioni (credo)

come mai invece non esiste il file CardBus in /etc/init.d/ non ho idea...

...idem su come mai non esistono i moduli prism2_pci hostap_pci in /proc/modules...

Gli errori delle righe Makefile:46 e Makefile:53 indicano la mancanza del supporto wireless e pcmcia nel kernel, ma in /etc la cartella pcmcia e' presente quindi non so' se effettivamente mancano queste estensioni (e non so' se c'e' un comando per verificarlo) oppure se questi due errori discendono dal fatto che il file .config non esiste (verificato) nel percorso /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.5-default/build/ come indicato in Makefile:28

Qualunque soluzione / aiuto / consiglio e' ben accetto perche' mi sto perdendo un tantino d'animo.

Grazie molte
Leonardo
