So it must be easy to install... just ./Install right?
[root@admins 722]# ./Install

Error: Run 'make config' first!

make config...There is no config file..



maybe ./Build ?

[root@admins 722]# ./Build

Error: Run 'make config' first!

[root@admins 722]#

Hmm, back to the invisble config file...

There is one wlags49.mk file, so I make -f wlags49.mk


[root@admins 722]# make -f wlags49.mk
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/chit/722/wireless'
wlags49_cs.mk:5: ../config.mk: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../config.mk'. Stop.
