My comp' not getting dragged in automatically

[Guest]

While I'm testing home made components, I use the "Quick & Dirty" method for
building and testing. That being in TD, I import a PMQ directly into the
build config, rather than make a macro platform component.

I've successfully made a component for the Wireless card on my lappy (
Intel Wireless 3945ABG ). It works and I'm happy. But when I import my PMQ
for the lappy, TD is not pulling in the component for the wireless card. It
takes in the wired NIC but not the wireless one. The wired NiC was also made
by me.

If I manually select the component, everything is fine. I just want to know
why it would be pulled in automatically like all the rest of the driver
components I've built?

Is there a check box I've missed when making the component?

Hi BlueMonkey,

You can create a macro platform component and add dependency for this
wireless card.

Check out your PMQ imported results. Does it have a dependency on the Wireless card driver?
If it doesn't you have probably run the TAP when the card wasn't in the laptop (is it a PCMCIA card?) or its driver wasn't installed
in the system.

You can always re-run TAP with the driver installed, or manually add the dependency to your platform macro component for the driver.
This should work assuming you import PMQ after you have added the driver component to the component database.

Arghhh, thats right. I don't normally use Wireless so I had the card
disabled through software as well as hardware. The lappy has a hardware
based switch.


Cool thanks KM.
