So I'm trying to update my ipw2200 driver and I'm running into problems. The remove-old from the ipw2200 driver takes out the ieee80211 files. So I downloaded the ieee80211 files run the remove-old and the try to make root asand get this:

Any ideas on how to get past this?

Same problem here but with SuSe 10.0:

-> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...46#post1906246

Really need some help.....

Thanks!

u need an essential patch from ieee80211.sf.net. go to the patch section and find the patch related to ur error. also, make sure ur kernel is 2.6.8 or higher, and that ur using the latest versions of all packages. also, make sure to do the following:

go to /usr/src/linux/include/net/
remove all files beginning with "ieee" and "original-ieee"

the latest versions are:

ieee80211-1.1.6
ipw2200-1.0.8
ipw2200-fw-2.4

hope this solves ur problem

having the same problems,

I delted all files starting with 'ieee'2fiels and 'original-ieee'non in /usr/src/linux/include/net/

but dosn't fix the problem
