Hello,
I have a TS-7250 and am having trouble with my linksys usb wireless
device (wusb12). It loads the prism2_usb driver as show below.
ts7200:/# lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
prism2_usb 69388 0 (unused)
p80211 22568 0 [prism2_usb]
usb-storage 55928 1
sd_mod 11116 2
scsi_mod 53720 2 [usb-storage sd_mod]
usb-ohci-ep93xx 904 0 (unused)
usb-ohci 15544 0 [usb-ohci-ep93xx]
pcipool 2088 1 [usb-ohci-ep93xx usb-ohci]
usbcore 55920 1 [prism2_usb usb-storage usb-ohci]
vfat 10156 0 (unused)
fat 29632 0 [vfat]
when I do a ifconfig -a it shows up, but there must be a problem since
there is now HWaddr.
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
with iwconfig -a I get the following
ts7200:/# iwconfig -a
-a no wireless extensions.
I noticed that the wlanctl-ng which is supposed to come with the
prism2_usb driver is not present. Next, I downloaded the kernel
(linux24_ts8_src.tar.gz). I changed the compiler in the Makefile, and
gave autobuild_for_customer execute permission and used that to
compile the kernel. I did not receive any errors for that so I
downloaded the ftp://ftp.linux-wlan.org/pub/linux-wlan-ng/linux-wlan-
ng-0.2.2.tar.gz and extracted it. When I tried to compile it, I got
an error about /lib/modules/2.4.26-vrs1-cirrus-1-2-1-ts8/build
pointing to /home/joff/... and thus changed it to the new build
directory I used when compiling the kernel as shown below
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Sep 25 15:10 build -> /usr/
local/src/linux24_ts8
I then tried compiling the linux-wlan again with the following
ts7200:/usr/local/src/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.2# ./Configure

The default responses are correct for most users.

Did you forget to install your new kernel?!?

Module install directory [/lib/modules/2.4.26-vrs1-cirrus-1-2-1-ts8

It looks like you have a System V init file setup.

Configuration successful. Now type 'make' and pray.
And so I prayed and ran make. Of course I ran into problems and they
look like this

This is the part where I am stuck on and would greatly appreciate some
help.
