Atheros 802.11 Toshiba A75 Mandrake 10.1 Driver Help Needed


I have installed mandrake 10.1 on my toshiba a75 laptop. Everything works great except the wireless. Its Atheros 802.11. I have read other posts similar. After I download the file from cvs what do I type to make and makefile and so on. I'm new at this and my linux book doesn't cover troubleshooting driver issues. Any help or a point in the right direction would be great. Thanks.

Only kernel ver 2.4.x and above are supported

I did what one post told me and downloaded from cvs.sourceforge and got the madwifi drivers.
I did what was told but on the make and makefile part it tells me "Only kernel ver 2.4.x and above are supported"
"make *** [configcheck] error

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
