Thanks, David.  Excellent point.  Doh!

According to the readme, the driver supports Linux kernel 2.4.x, and
they specifically mention Red Hat and Suse as being examples of
distributions that include 2.4.x kernels, but they don't specify that
it only compiles on these distros.

I've attempted to compile it both on a Mandrake 9.2 system running
2.4.22 kernel, and a Debian 3.0 system with kernel 2.4.20.  These are
both running on a Dell Latitude notebook.

Despite the 2 or 3 references I found online to people who have
successfully compiled the code, I'm not sure how they did it, since the
Configure script is clearly missing from the source that's available on
the Agere website.

It's worth noting that on the same Agere website is an updated Windows
driver that also supports Hermes I and II chipsets, and said driver
also contains integral to the driver a firmware upgrade for Hermes I
cards that allows WPA support.
