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)

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.

WARNING: the source tree has a build date of Sun Sep 25 13:53:47 2005.
   Did you forget to install your new kernel?!?

Alternate target install root directory on host []:
  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.


Prefix for build host compiler? (rarely needed) []:

Build for debugging (see doc/config.debug) (y/n) [n]:


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.
