Thank you, Andrew and Johannes, for your answers.

I'm afraid it is not precisely to which I should be asking my enquiries,
since it's called bcm43xx-dev@ and not [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nevertheless, my
repeated unsuccessful attempts at getting this done pushed me to ask you
for more help.

I'm using a Debian Etch on a 2.6.18-4-amd64 linux kernel, on my laptop.
I've been following instructions on

        http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=mac80211&n=HOWTO-mac80211

in the hope of keeping my first kernel compiling experience as little
painful as possible.

I now get the following message:

Any help, or suggestions of things to read, would be highly appreciated.

Sincerely yours,

Guillaume Yziquel.
