Has anyone had luck finding an rpm for the ipw2100 (Centrino mobile
technology) module for RHEL?
I found them for FedoraCore, RH8, and RH9.
I have downloaded the source for 1.0.0 (version recommended by Intel) from
http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/ but it won't build as it tells me my
kernel config has modules disabled (but I'm using modules...). I don't
have high hopes for this as it "requires" a 2.6.4+ kernel and RHEL still
uses a 2.4.x kernel with 2.6 functions...
######### Error from build #########
make -C /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.EL/build
SUBDIRS=/root/centrino/intel_ipw2100/ipw2100-1.0.0
BUILD_DIR=/root/centrino/intel_ipw2100/ipw2100-1.0.0 modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-27.EL'
The present kernel configuration has modules disabled.
Type 'make config' and enable loadable module support.
Then build a kernel with module support enabled.

################################
I am running RHEL WS rel 3 update 4 (kernel 2.4.21-27.EL) on a Dell
Latitude D600. This is a brand new build with a vanilla kernel. Let me
know if more detail is needed... ...and yes, I have RTFM'ed, I'm
following the destructions in the Building External section as I don't
want to have to rebuild the kernel (I'm going to have more of these as
users buy new laptops...)
Please smack me if I am doing something stupid! I'd prefer this group
over my user smacking me <grin>.
