Joerg, Just for fun I threw your error message above into google. It came back with one hit, and it is related to, get this, Mandrake 9.1 and wireless. Specifically covering the amtel drivers in this authors case. http://iprserv.jura.uni-leipzig.de/pipermail/atmel-wlan-usb/2003-April/001564.html is the link, for the start of the thread. Apparently the ethtool.h include line is dispensable and can just be commented out (the thread provides a link to this info.) and will let you carry on from there. James
