hello,
I am trying to use a patched ipw2200 driver on kanotix 2006 rc1.
According to this link, i am supposed to patch the ipw2200 1.1.4 driver.
That was no problem, then i did a make in the ipw2200 directory.
Make gave me this error:
root@Djazzz:/home/djazzz/ipw2200-1.1.4# make
ERROR: ieee80211.h not found in '/lib/modules/2.6.17.13-kanotix-2/include'.
You need to install the ieee80211 subsystem from http://ieee80211.sf.net
and point this build to the location where you installed those sources, eg.:
% make IEEE80211_INC=/usr/src/ieee80211/
will look for ieee80211.h in /usr/src/ieee80211/net/
make: *** [check_inc] Fehler 1
The I searched with locate for ieee80211.h.
root@Djazzz:/home/djazzz/ipw2200-1.1.4# locate ieee80211.h
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17.13-kanotix-2/include/net/ieee80211.h
Then i did:
make IEEE80211_INC=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17.13-
kanotix-2/include/net/ieee80211.h
ERROR: ieee80211.h not found in '/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17.13-kanotix-2/include/net/iee
e80211.h'.
You need to install the ieee80211 subsystem from http://ieee80211.sf.net
and point this build to the location where you installed those sources, eg.:
% make IEEE80211_INC=/usr/src/ieee80211/
will look for ieee80211.h in /usr/src/ieee80211/net/
make: *** [check_inc] Fehler 1
Still the same error.
What am i doing wrong??
Here the links where I found the information:

| ipw2200 is integrated into the kernel. Your driver is not for current kernels. |

Ok, too bad.
I like kanotix alot, It is one of the few distros,that supports almost all my hardware.
So if i want to use this driver i have to use another distro?
or is there another way to use intel pro 2200BG for injecting packets? |

Your choices are:
1) Use an older kernel/Kanotix version;
2) Wait for LatinSuD to do a new patch with most recent kernel;
3) Fix the patch yourself now;
4) Get better fitting hardware for the given task, where the unpatched driver provides the functionality you need.
Greetings,
Chris |

I tried that, and i got the same error.
Actually i read an article about modules, and there is a way to temporarily unload the ipw2200 module and enable the patched one.
I think that the patched module gets a different name so it can coexist without interfering.
What I don't understand is , in what way the module uses other necessary software to function properly.
I mean, does the current ipw2200 driver use the same software as the patched one. |
