Kernel Compilation and Intel ProWirelessG

[Bryan Pizzuti]

Ok, figured out some things. Downloaded the firmware from Sourceforge,
though I'd have to experiment with where to put it. But I don't think
that's the issue....somehow the crypt option for WEP in the kernel is
MISSING??  This is the kernel source right out of Ubuntu Universe...

root at thinkpad:/usr/src/linux-src # make xconfig
scripts/kconfig/qconf arch/i386/Kconfig
Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the
authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based
authentication failed
drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig:303:warning: 'select' used by config symbol
'IPW2200' refer to undefined symbol 'IEEE80211_CRYPT_WEP'
