Hello all,

I know this subject has been covered ad nauseum, however, after
reading all the newsgroup postings I can find and all of the
documentation I can find - I still can't figure it out. I'm trying to
setup a Netgear WG311 wifi card and having no luck. Can someone
interpret the errors I am getting. This is what I get when I try to
do a 'make':

for i in ./ath_hal ./net80211 ./ath; do \
        (cd $i; make) || exit 1; \
done
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/madwifi/ath_hal'

I'm using FC2. I'm also still a bit of a newbie, but here are the
directions I tried to follow:

1) Install sharutils on your FC2 (you can look if you have installed
it with the command rpm -qa |grep shar). You can find a Version of
sharutils on the FC2CD3

2) Install the kernel-source rpm for your particular kernel

3) Do a cvs checkout of madwifi
Code:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/madwifi co
madwifi

4) cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358 (adjust for your particular kernel)

5)make oldconfig
make all

6) ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/vmlinux
/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/build/vmlinux

7)cd into the directory that you did the cvs checkout of madwifi

8)make

Any help or point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Robert
