The appropriate bus105 must also be available. For many laptops, the PCMCIA bus (CONFIG_PCCARD)106 needs to be built. In some cases, this bus support will also need to be107 built for embedded wireless cards. The appropriate bridge support also108 needs to be built. For many modern laptops, the CardBus host bridge109 (CONFIG_YENTA) will be needed.110 </para>111 112 <para>113 In addition to the bus, the actual driver for the specific wireless card114 must also be available. There are many wireless cards and they don't115 all work with Linux. The first place to look for card support is the116 kernel. The drivers are located in Device Drivers → Network Device117 Support → Wireless LAN (non-hamradio). There are also external118 drivers available for some very common cards. For more information,119 look at the user notes.120 </para>121 122 <para>123 After the correct drivers are loaded, the interface will124 appear in <filename>/proc/net/wireless</filename>.125 </para>126 121 127 122 </sect2>
