I have an 11wave WaveBuddy PCMCIA wireless network card, and I want to use it with the 2.6.6-1-686 kernel on Debian Sid. I have the kernel-source-2.6 package and hav untarred it and symlinked the resulting directory to /usr/src/linux-2.6.6-1-686, which is apparently where it is expecting to find the kernel source. However, whenever I try to build the driver, I get about a million errors from headers in the kernel source, including redeclarations, unknown types and parse errors. Obviously these errors can't be real, because if they were, one would never be able to even compile the kernel. This driver doesn't require that I compile the kernel, just that I have the source installed. I am trying to use the latest version of the atmelwlandriver package as found at http://atmelwlandriver.sourceforge.net Actually, it's the latest snapshot, which still shouldn't cause these problems, as they seem to be kernel related. If anyone has gotten this driver to compile correctly with a 2.6 kernel on Debian, please let me know how you did it.
Thanks, PRINCE
