<style> BODY { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px; }</style><span class="swb">I actually where trying to make wireless networking to work by following the howto:<br>
<a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/ps3-howto/ps3-wireless-howto.txt">http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/ps3-howto/ps3-wireless-howto.txt</a><br>
but when i executed:<br>
<pre>wpa_supplicant -dd -Dwext -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf<br>
<br>
i get errors like:<br>
<br>
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported<br>
WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported<br>
WEXT auth param 5 value 0x1 - ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: No such device.<br>
<br>
So i thought maybe by installing a new kernel the problems would de solved.<br>
I followed the steps outlined by Matthew Scarpino in his book programming the cell processor:<br>
<br>
make mrproper<br>
make menuconfig (Modularize Device Mapper Support and include LB File System Support)<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">then building the kernel with:</span><br>
<br>
make; make modules; make modules_instalĺ<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">copying the files:</span><br>
<br>
cp vmlinux /boot/vmlinux-x.y.z<br>
cp .config /boot/config-x.y.z<br>
cp System.map /boot/System.map-x.y.z<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">mkinitrd:</span><br>
<br>
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-x.y.z.img x.y.z<br>
<br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">and finally adding to yaboot.conf:</span><br>
<br>
image:/vmlinux-x.y.z<br>
label=latest<br>
read-only<br>
initrd=/initrd-x.y.z.img<br>
append="rhgb quiet root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 3"<br>
<br>

<br>
ps3_defconfig is not compatible with your distro's kernel config.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">> Any help would be appreciated.</span><br>
<br>
A kernel built with ps3_defconfig does not need an initrd. You can<br>
just copy the vmlinux to the correct place and add a kboot.conf<br>
entry for it.<br>
<br>
What are you trying to accomplish?<br>
