소니 노트북에서 리눅스환경에서 무선랜 잡을 줄 아시는 분 답변

I can't type hangul because nabi or imhangul is not available at this machine. As you said that it's emergent, I'll go through in English. (Or ask somebody for translation -_-)

Your WLAN is for the research(I got your PM), it's natural to include some advanced stuffs.

OK, here's the deal.

Firstly, these configurations are mandatory for Wi-Fi and sniffing IEEE 802.11 packets(If you don't want some advanced functionalities such as sniffing and channel hopping, just include orinoco and orinoco-cs - for pcmcia - drivers.)

1) Compile kernel 2.6.x with PCMCIA support and masking yenta a module.

<*> PCMCIA/CardBus support 
<M>   CardBus yenta-compatible bridge support 
   < >   i82092 compatible bridge support (NEW) 
   < >   i82365 compatible bridge support (NEW) 
   < >   Databook TCIC host bridge support (NEW)

2) And also hermes chipset support..

[*] Wireless LAN drivers (non-hamradio) & Wireless Extensions        
---   Obsolete Wireless cards support (pre-802.11)                    
< >   STRIP (Metricom starmode radio IP) (NEW)                        
< >   Aironet Arlan 655 & IC2200 DS support (NEW)                    
< >   AT&T/Lucent old WaveLAN & DEC RoamAbout DS ISA support (NEW) 
< >   AT&T/Lucent old WaveLAN Pcmcia wireless support (NEW) 
< >   Xircom Netwave AirSurfer Pcmcia wireless support (NEW) 
---   Wireless 802.11 Frequency Hopping cards support 
< >   Aviator/Raytheon 2.4MHz wireless support (NEW) 
---   Wireless 802.11b ISA/PCI cards support 
< >   Cisco/Aironet 34X/35X/4500/4800 ISA and PCI cards (NEW) 
<M>   Hermes chipset 802.11b support (Orinoco/Prism2/Symbol)

< >     Hermes in TMD7160 based PCI adaptor support (EXPERIMENTAL) 
< >     Prism 2.5 PCI 802.11b adaptor support (EXPERIMENTAL) (NEW) 
---   Wireless 802.11b Pcmcia/Cardbus cards support 
<M>   Hermes PCMCIA card support 
< >   Cisco/Aironet 34X/35X/4500/4800 PCMCIA cards (NEW) 
< >   Intersil Prism GT/Duette/Indigo PCI/PCMCIA (NEW) 
< >   Atmel at76c502/at76c504 PCMCIA cards (NEW) 
< >   Planet WL3501 PCMCIA cards (NEW)

3. Last but not least, PCMCIA network device support...

[*] PCMCIA network device support 
< >   3Com 3c589 PCMCIA support (NEW) 
< >   3Com 3c574 PCMCIA support (NEW) 
< >   Fujitsu FMV-J18x PCMCIA support (NEW) 
< >   NE2000 compatible PCMCIA support (NEW) 
< >   New Media PCMCIA support (NEW) 
< >   SMC 91Cxx PCMCIA support (NEW) 
< >   Xircom 16-bit PCMCIA support (NEW) 
< >   Asix AX88190 PCMCIA support (NEW)

That's it. Compile your kernel and reboot(in some cases, reboot is optional.).

Okie-dokie! You did very well but stay tuned for the advanced functionalities which I mentioned. (Don't u need this for your experimental thing?)

Secondly, Download the driver from someone's CVS repository.

cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.nongnu.org:/cvsroot/orinoco co orinoco

Compile and install the driver you downloaded. Read README but,

make all 
su
make install

would be great.

Finally, here's the list of tools you have to install (or you'll be convinient with).

1) wireless-tools
 -> http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html
2) PCMCIA tools for linux
-> htpp://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net

The remained job is to setup your network configuration.

I think there are easier ways available whatsoever distribution package you adopted. (Because Gentoo is the only I used, I can't give more detailed helps to you.) Moreover, I can't write hangul now and that makes it worse!
