Hi,

Please forgive me for my bad english. I’m a french people.

I need some help to install madwifi on a 2.6.9 kernel (redhat ws 4).

I have tested the svn trunk version of madwifi on ubuntu, and it was working fine.

I’d like to do the same on redhat. So I have downloaded the same version and try to compile it.

But I have some errors :

[root <at> localhost madwifi-trunk-r3849-20080828]# make

Checking requirements... ok.

Checking kernel configuration... ok.

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.ELsmp/build SUBDIRS=/tmp/madwifi-trunk-r3849-20080828 modules
