[Musix-users] WiFi in Musix?

[Jerry Jai]

First of all, thanks to everyone who has worked on the
Musix project -- it appears to have everything someone
would need to start making music on thier computer -- 
I'm really impressed.

I'm fairly new to Linux (experimented a couple years
ago but didn't get far).  So far, I've been been able
(mostly) to figure out how to install Musix and get it
running - but I'm having troubles fine tuning it.

One problem I'm running into is with getting WiFi to
work.  Musix doesn't seem to recognize my USB wifi
adapter.  (It's a DLink DWL-120 with Atmel chipset.)

I tried installing the Berlios Atmel drivers
(http://at76c503a.berlios.de/) after executing
"restore-dev.sh" and "apt-get install
linux-headers-2.6.21 linux-source-2.6.21"

However, I can't seem to make the driver without
errors.  The driver make routine can't find the kernel
"/build" directory.

When I go to look for the kernel source, I can't find
it manually, either.  When I go to where I think the
kernel is (/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.21) and type
"make menuconfig" it just gives me an error and boots
me back to the prompt.

I tried ndiswrapper, but couldn't get that
work either.  That's when I realized that the wifi
adapter isn't being recognized when I hotplug it. 
(When I plug it in, I hear the hard drive spin for a
second, but when I do a lsmod, the card doesn't show
up.)


Also, perhaps it's unrelated, but when I boot up, the
boot hangs on a udev error for a long time (2-3
minutes) before the boot continues.  This happens
right after the system is autoconfiguring hardware.

FYI, I did a "beginner" HD install.

Again, I'm a real Linux newbie, so if I'm saying
things that don't make sense, it's probably because I
don't know what I'm talking about!

Thanks in advance!
