im trying to "make all" the atmelwlandriver, but it quits with the error:
"lib/modules/2.6.2/build/include/asm/smp.h:72:26: mach_apicdef.h: No such file or directory"
i was able to compile this driver when i was running 2.4.22, but i recently installed 2.6.2, and now it wont work.
this is on a dell laptop with ati radeon chipset and slack 9.1.
any suggestions ?

Well, there are a few things you need to do to get ready for re-compiling drivers for different kernel versions. #1 - Are you sure that the 2.4.xxx code that you have can build for a 2.6.xxx kernel version (my guess would be no, but I'm not 100% familiar with that package). #2 - Did you make sure to reconfigure the software for a 2.6.xxx kernel? #3 - if you have done all of those things and there's still problems, post a detailed output of the configure options, source package version, and build errors.

Good Luck,
Aaron

well, i downloaded the most recent version of the atmelwlandriver, which was dated feb 27th.
it doesnt say which kernel ver. its created for.
yes, im recompiling it under the 2.6.2 kernel. i fixed the last error, but heres what i get now:

I have the same problem ... it seems to be a bug
in bief : the mpspec.h include the mach_spech.h
but mach_spech.h is not in /lib/modules/linux/build/include/asm/
but in /lib/modules/2.6.8-1-686-smp/build/include/asm-i386/mach-*


see the post in debian.org for more details

ah if anyone have the solution ...


p.s.: sorry for my english , i'm italian
