After many months of off and on again trying to make my own limey I have great success to report. I made it stock, but one twist: have support for RTL8187 USB WiFi and wireless toosl for iwconfig, etc. And needed parallel port for COS and PTT. Well Jim fixed chan_usbradio.c to fix the port problem, but I founf the issue in buildroot, as outlined in a message this AM. It compiled, kernel compiled made a CF card, stuck it in the PC I have been using and voila, booted, sees the USBWiFi, downloaded 1.1.5 source code, compiled it, used all the setup files, etc, etc, made a privae node for test 1997, and already had it connected to my 2360 node. Just plain slick. Things that I had to fiddle with: patch microperl.mk modify the config files for buildroot and kernel for the wireless stuff (did makemenuconfig in both and saved to the proper file in treunk/configs) had to fix the top MAkefile to eliminate the "-E" after sudo in two places. Didn't work on my computer. Jim! success, I'm pumped. Hope you have power out there. GeorgeC W2DB 2360
