mr_wlan,
thanks for the reply. actually i have a copy of the kernel recompiling guide. i already know how to compile and install the kernel, just don't know how to extract everything out of the %$# redhat 7.3 source RPM's.
rewind to last week...i had RH7.2 installed at the time, but was advised to upgrade to at least 2.4.18 to get the latest wireless support...downloaded the sources from kernel.org and configured/compiled/installed them over and over again but couldn't get the wireless part to work right.
so this week, i decided to start from scratch and install RH7.3 from scratch since it comes w/ 2.4.18...but now wlan_ng wants the sources to the kernel & pcmcia_cs when i do a "make config."
when i point it to the plain vanilla 2.4.18 sources it complains that i'm running redhat's 2.4.18-3 version instead. so that's why i'm trying to get the sources out of the RPM's. man i HATE RPM's! why can't they just put everything in a .tgz like everyone else on the planet does???
