It is set to m. Would it be simple to have it set to y?


In any case:
So I did sudo modprobe  iwlegacy  
and indeed now in lsmod that module shows up
I can run sudo ifonfig wlan0 up.

However neither wicd nor (k)networkmanager show the wireless device!

So I still don't have wifi.

Ok since it was in /usr/src

 it looked logical. So if I change the ownership of the kernel source
 and run the make commands, should I run just the make install commands
 and root and let the permissions of the executable as they are?


Thanks for your help.
