If you want to build the kernel under the kernel of 2.4.x, one has to let the variable KERN_24=y and comment the KERN_26=y like that as the example above and modify the variable KERNEL_SOURCE to the path which you install the kernel source. After doing these things, one just need to type the “make”, and the driver module will be generated and installed. - Page 4 Examples: iwconfig ethX essid <ESSID> mode: Set the operation mode of our device. Examples: iwconfig ethX <mode> mode: Managed (Infrastructure Station mode) Ah-hoc (Ad hoc mode) Master (Access Point mode) channel: Set the channel in the device. Example: iwconfig ethX channel <channel> The channel can vary from 1 to 14.
- Page 5 iwconfig wlan0 key off power: Used to manipulate the power management scheme mode. Examples: iwconfig ethX power on (Turn on power saving mode) iwconfig ethX power off (Turn off power saving mode) 3.4 Private commands: Except for commands support for wireless extension, we also define some commands for us to set parameters to our driver.
- Page 6 One can associate with the given Access Point with a given Cell Number by the following command. ]$ iwpriv ethX connect <Cell Number> The Cell Number is got from the site survey operation by the doing “iwlist” command. We recommend that user uses the following scenario under the Managed (Infrastructure) or Adhoc mode.
- Page 7 3.5 Set up IP address: If you use the RedHat distribution Linux, you can edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX or edit the /etc/network/interfaces under the Debian to set up the IP address on booting process. Or one can use the netconfig command for ip address setting. We provide two types setting in the following examples.

Note: I do the following procedure in Fedora Core2, for other distribution package, you may need install additional libraries required to build the wpa supplicant.. 3.7.1 Setup the Linux WPA supplicant - Copy lnx_wpa_supplicant.tar.gz file into a subdirectory on Linux system.
- Page 9 After make process completed, A executable file wpa_supplicant created. To create a WPA PSK connection, please modify the configuration file (For detailed description , you can refer to the original sample configuration file: wpa_supplicant.conf) wpa_supplicant_psk.conf to meet wpa-psk test condition. Sample settings for wpa-psk: network={ ssid="wrt55ag"...

If the zd1211 is not open yet, please open it firstly by command: ]$ ifconfig eth1 up <IP address of the network interface> After network interface is opened, enter the command to build wpa psk connection: ]$ ./wpa_supplicant -ieth1 -c wpa_supplicant_psk.conf -d -D zydas...

- Page 12 Press “Export” Select “Yes, export the private key”...
- Page 13 Select “Personal Information Exchange” Input the Password. This password will be the same password in –passing parameter input.
- Page 14 Input filename, and then press Next to finish the certificate exporting. The exported certificate file will be suffixed with extension name: “.pfx”. And you can use this file to generate: 1. Root Certificate 2. Personal Certificate 3. Personal Private key. There are required in WPA EAP-TLS mode.
