I am just back from some out-of-home days and got the issue. I hope, you solved your problem in the meantime. But some suggestions anyway. You did not mention the version of your kernel and the version of ieee80211. There are compilation problems with older ieee80211 versions than 1.1.12, you may "google" this. Further, I don't like to mix kernel versions. As Randy McMurchy suggested, unpack into /usr/src and, perhaps, make a link "linux" to the resulting directory e.g. linux-2.6.15.1. That is clean. But do not build 2.6 versions under 2.4 directories. And finally, if iee80211 compilation want to remove old components, why not ? I think, ieee80211 people nows what they are doing, just trust them. I hope you are making progress and wish you success. Edgar -- --------------------- Dr.-Ing.
