    22   If you’ve just installed a !RedHat kernel package, have all of the correct symlinks, and it still won’t work, then it could be because you don’t have a built/configured kernel. To fix this problem cd into your kernel tree and build it as normal. [Note: previous driver incarnations did not require a built kernel tree, however recent versions (post Dec 2003) have used kbuild in the Makefile, which need to use some parts of the built kernel.] iwconfig reports: No wireless extensions.

    24 26 You need to build a kernel with `CONFIG_NET_RADIO` and `CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS` enabled. Normally selecting the former in menuconfig automatically enables the latter too, but if you’re editing by hand, remember to set both, since its the `WIRELESS` bit that switches on {{{/proc/wireless}}}.
