ipw2200 [Wifi Driver] compile problems
All,
I'm fairly new to Debian and have Etch installed on a Samsung M40 with a
custom kernel:
# uname -a
# Linux cloudburst 2.6.8 #1 Sun Oct 2 00:46:23 BST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux
I'd like to install the ipw2200 Wifi drivers, but am struggling.
Here's what I'm doing:
1. apt-get update
2. m-a a-i ieee80211-source
3. apt-get install ipw2200-source
4. cd /usr/src; tar xzf ipw2200-source.tar.gz
5. m-a a-i ipw2200
Unfortunately, step five fails with the following errors in the buildlog:
> [...]

I would really appreciate any advice you could give me.
Many thanks in advance,
