Troubles with installing wireless adapter
 
Hi there,

I bought an Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 1536 laptop with centrino duo yesterday, and i have installed Fedora Core 5 (Bordeaux) on it.
I upgraded the kernel to the latest version (2.6.16-1.2096_FC5smp), but i've ran into a problem.

I try to install my integrated wireless network adapter(Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG) via this guide: http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/INSTALL

I already run into trouble when i want to install ieee80211.
See the logfile:

I also tried the remove-old patch (http://ieee80211.sourceforge.net/pat...move-old.patch) on the bottom of http://ieee80211.sourceforge.net page , but it gives me this:
Code:

[root@localhost ieee80211-1.1.13]# patch -p1 < ieee80211-1.0.1-remove-old.patch
patching file remove-old
Hunk #1 FAILED at 18.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file remove-old.rej
[root@localhost ieee80211-1.1.13]#

What can be the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Regards,

FLX

Hello,

you should install the Kernel-Headers.

Work the driver? I have the problem:

Code:
