Package: madwifi-source

Severity: wishlist
I decided to try the madwifi-source this evening and am at a bit of a
loss on how to proceed. I followed the instructions I've used in the
past at http://www.marlow.dk/site.php/tech/madwifi and performed the
following:
copied /boot/config-2.6.14-2-686 to /usr/src/linux/.config
make-kpkg --append-to-version "-2-686" --revision 2.6.14-4 --config oldconfig
configure
make-kpkg --append-to-version "-2-686" --revision 2.6.14-4 --added-modules
madwifi modules_image
to build against the installed Debian linux-kernel package. After some
output, the build process fails with the following error:

Hit return to Continue
The genksyms file seems is not yet built and I suspect that it won't be
built until the kernel is built. Is this necessary? For the packages
obtained from marlow.dk building the kernel was not necessary.
It would be nice if the source package could provide some guidance about
building the Madwifi modules using kernel-package.

Hi Nate,
Did you look at this effort to document the preferred process of
installing madwifi?
/usr/share/doc/madwifi-source/README.Debian
If that is not sufficient or could be rephrased please let me know about it.
Thanks, Kel.
