I'm trying to compile ipw2200. I've installed the linux header files.

When I compile ipw2200 it gives me the following error

 ERROR: ieee80211.h not found in '/lib/modules/2.6.15-28-386/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] Error 1




I've also downloaded ieee80211 and when I try installing this it says by
typing make in its directory i dont get any errors. I get this instead.


Checking in /lib/modules/2.6.15-28-386 for ieee80211 components...
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.15-28-386/build M=/usr/src/ieee80211 modules

I'm doing all of this so that I can install Acerhk. A driver to enable 
the special keys on my TravelMate 2300.

Thanks,

Jason
