Hi, I complied the kernel buitin broadcom drivers. So now, I have a interface named "wlan0_rename". But things are still not working for me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ flukebox flukebox # iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions. ip6tnl0 no wireless extensions. eth1 no wireless extensions. wlan0_rename IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"" Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2346 B Encryption key:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 flukebox flukebox # /etc/init.d/net.wlan0_rename start * Starting wlan0_rename * /etc/conf.d/wireless is deprecated * Please put all settings in /etc/conf.d/net * /etc/conf.d/wireless is deprecated * Please put all settings in /etc/conf.d/net * Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0_rename ... ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported [ ok ]th param 5 value 0x1 - * Starting wpa_cli on wlan0_rename ...

Also, is there any way to change my interface name wlan0_rename to wlan0 or eth1 ??
