problem to make and install ieee80211 and ipw2200


Code:
[root@localhost ieee80211-1.1.6]# make

make: *** [modules] Error 2
[root@localhost ieee80211-1.1.6]#
I got these errors when trying to make ieee80211, please tell me why, should I just ignore them?

Code:
[root@localhost ipw2200-1.0.8]# make
<stdin>:1:28: linux/rhconfig.h: No such file or directory

 ERROR: ieee80211.h not found in '/lib/modules/2.6.11-6mdk-i686-up-4GB/include'.

 You need to install the ieee80211 subsystem from http://ieee80211.sf.net
 and point this build to the location where you installed those sources, eg.:

 % make IEEE80211_INC=/usr/src/ieee80211/

 will look for ieee80211.h in /usr/src/ieee80211/net/

make: *** [check_inc] Error 1
[root@localhost ipw2200-1.0.8]#
also for the ipw2200...looking for ieee80211
any help would be appreciated....

thanks,

Tje

Tje,

Is the 2006 version solve the ipw2200 issue. I have exactly the same problem trying to make the IEEE80211 driver, because i can't use the one coming from Mandriva LE2005 which doesn't work?
