Madwifi Installation - Zenwalk 4.4 (Kernel 2.6.20)

I installed madwifi without trouble on Zenwalk 4.0, but now it's not going too well under 4.4.

My first hurdle: http://support.zenwalk.org/index.php....html#msg38440

Borromini's reply regarding 'config.h' helped (thank you), but now I've encountered another hurdle:

Code:
root[madwifi-0.9.2.1]# make
Checking requirements... ok.
Checking kernel configuration... ok.
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.20/build SUBDIRS=/usr/src/madwifi-0.9.2.1 modules

Some more guidance would be greatly appreciated

Tony.

I, too, haven't been able to build the driver with kernel 2.6.20. See my thread:

OK, I got the svn & it compiled without an issue & the wireless works. I am left with one problem though. I can't add the necessary lines to rc.local as wpa_supplicant hangs, not allowing the system to boot. To get wireless running once logged in, I have to open up another terminal to issue: 'dhcpcd ath0' & keep the first one open.

Here's the output:

Code:

As you can see it does work, I just need it to start at boot without user intervention as this laptop is going to a complete n00b.

Thanks in advance,

PS. After being connected for a few minuites it provides some extra output:

I'd just like to say that the SVN does work with kernel 2.6.20 it was simply user error

I'd forgotton to change the command from: wpa_supplicant -D madwifi -i ath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d
To: wpa_supplicant -D madwifi -i ath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B

If only I realised before installing an older version of Zenwalk & compiling a custom kernel, just to find the same problem...

At least it works eh
