can't compile ipw2200
 
I'm having trouble with the ipw2200 module. I had no problems with make, but when I try make install, I get many errors. After the make install, when I try to load the module, it is not found. Here is as much of the output of make install that LQ will allow me to post:

we need the first few lines where everything started to go bad.
(that looks like make output not make install output)
also kernel version. There are some issues and patches or easy fixes with some kernel versions.
and of course check out this

Hi, thanks for the response. Sorry I didn't provide more info. I'm running kernel 2.6.13, the one included on the second Slackware CD.
That actually was output from make install, here is the output of make:

And that sort of error goes on for 1000+ lines.

You need the ieee80211 stack module installed. There's a link on the ipw2200 driver webpage...it also says in the instructions that you need the stack! If you don't already have it, you'll need the firmware package installed too...all the information is on the website http://ipw2200.sf.net

I have the firmware installed. I thought I had installed the stack, but I must have done something wrong. I built it again, and now I'm having no trouble with ipw2200.

Thanks!
