Having trouble installing madwifi 0.9.4 on Slack 12.2
Hey Everyone
I recently installed Slackware 12.2 on my toshiba satellite A35-S159 laptop today. I attempted to install madwifi 0.9.4, but was faced with some errors when I ran the "make" command. I am not going to past the entire make command output, but i will paste just the error section: /home/majid/Downloads/madwifi-0.9.4/net80211/ieee80211_power.c: In function 'ieee80211_pwrsave': /home/majid/Downloads/madwifi-0.9.4/net80211/ieee80211_power.c:240: error: implicit declaration of function '__skb_append' make[3]: *** [/home/majid/Downloads/madwifi-0.9.4/net80211/ieee80211_power.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [/home/majid/Downloads/madwifi-0.9.4/net80211] Error 2 make[1]: *** [_module_/home/majid/Downloads/madwifi-0.9.4] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.27.7' make: *** [modules] Error 2 then when i attempted to run "make install" this is what came up: root@majidcomp:/home/majid/Downloads/madwifi-0.9.4# make install sh scripts/find-madwifi-modules.sh 2.6.27.7-smp for i in ath/ ath_hal/ ath_rate/ net80211/; do \ make -C $i install || exit 1; \ done make[1]: Entering directory `/home/majid/Downloads/madwifi-0.9.4/ath' test -d //lib/modules/2.6.27.7-smp/net || mkdir -p //lib/modules/2.6.27.7-smp/net install ath_pci.ko //lib/modules/2.6.27.7-smp/net install: cannot stat `ath_pci.ko': No such file or directory make[1]: *** [install] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/majid/Downloads/madwifi-0.9.4/ath' make: *** [install-modules] Error 1 any ideas as to how I should go about correcting these issues so my wireless driver will work?
