[Voyage-linux] Recompiling madwifi for the WRAP

[David Murray]

Hi,

I am having a bit of trouble recompiling madwifi for the WRAP. I know 
that voyage linux comes with madwifi but there is a patch I need with 
it so unfortunately the only option is to recompile the driver. I have 
tried a number of things.

1) Running voyage, the live cd, in vmware server (giving it plenty of 
memory to install gcc, build-essentials and the like. I tried this for 
quite a while but for some reason the linux-headers weren't enough. It 
kept coming up with an error looking for /build. Installing the kernel 
source required too much space to run with just memory.

2) Compiling the drivers on debian etch. This seemed like a good option 
becuase the gcc versions were the same. I grabbed the voyage-linux 
source and extracted that. I also took the .config file from my current 
WRAP and put that in the same directory as the voyage source. Finally I 
pointed my madwifi make at the kernel source. The compilation does not 
even begin. I simply get:

.config:18: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop.

Does anyone know where I might be going wrong.

Thanks in advance

Dave
