Dear Gonzalo,

Thanks for your reply about G122 driver.
I have just bought one DWL-G122 usb dongle and download the driver
from the address you had mentioned but I could not cross compile the
driver. Does it have any unusual trick?!
I used the makefile for the 2.4 kernel and set the required path
variable to the source of kernel and to the kernel modules but it was
just a mess and I got lots of error during the compilation. 

Thanks,
Mahdi
