Hello,

This error has been discussed here before, but I can't find anything about
how it was resolved.

After trying all the wireless cards Best Buy had without success, I just
bought the Proxim/Orinoco 11b Gold 8420-WD. It's the second one I've
tried. I've been trying to install the Client Software - ORiNOCO Rel 6.20
for Linux - Spring 2002 release driver following its readme. It seems to
build and install ok. However, when cardmgr tries to load it, it can't:

My gcc is version 3. How do I rebuild the wavelan2 module with it, to get
rid of this error and load the module.

The OS is Suse 8.2. uname = Linux linux 2.4.20-4GB #1 Wed Aug 6 18:26:21
UTC 2003 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux

It's on an IBM T21 Thinkpad.

Thank you.
