I have tried this file (downloaded from teletronics.com site), and could
not get it to compile with 2.2.18 at all. I used the wl24 drivers &
makefile with pcmcia 3.1.30 in order to get it to compile (successfully)
but now I cant modprobe :/
If anyone has any floppy distributions or anything of the like (ie
kernel/driver combos preferably with some os that WORKS) I'd love a
copy. Ive spent far too long (upwards of 4 solid days) trying to get
this to work in any form.
I dont have a pci bridge as Im trying to get it going on a 486 laptop.
