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:
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# uname -r
2.6.16-1.2096_FC5smp
[root@localhost ~]# wget http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ieee80211/ie

[root@localhost ieee80211-1.1.13]#

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
