Hi all,
I'm using ubuntu 6.1 and I've downloaded the ipw3945 module (1.2) to get my
intel 82801G working. My kernel is 2.6.17 and I think I've got all installed
(even sources). However, when I try to compile the module I first got the
message:
$ make
WARNING: Your kernel contains ieee80211 symbol definitions and you
are not using the kernel's default ieee80211 subsystem. (Perhaps you
used the out-of-tree ieee80211 subsystem's 'make install' or have
provided a path to the ieee80211 subsystem via IEEE80211_INC.)

and if I try to execute with the IEEE80211_IGNORE_DUPLICATE=y as suggested, I
got the following error:

ERROR: A compatible subsystem was not found in the following path[s]:

/lib/modules/2.6.17-11-386/include/ /lib/modules/2.6.17-11-386/

You need to install the ieee80211 subsystem from http://ieee80211.sf.net
and point this build to the location where you installed those sources, eg.:
% make IEEE80211_INC=/usr/src/ieee80211/
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Luca

You don't need to do all of that. Install the restricted kernel modules
package for your running kernel.
