[Bug 499513] [NEW] airdriver-ng install fails with unhelpful message

[Václav Šmilauer]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: aircrack-ng

Trying to install patched driver for iwl4965:

# airdriver-ng install 14
Driver "Intel Pro Wireless 4965 A/B/G/N" specified for installation.
Your current GCC version doesn't match the version your kernel was compiled with.
The build modules will probably not load into the running kernel.
DI_DRIVERPATH1[14] isn't set, you need at least one driver source!
Running "depmod -ae"...
WARNING: -e needs -E or -FFailed to install the driver.
Look through "/var/log/airdriver" for errors.

There is no indication on how and where set driver sources (man pages
doesn't mention requirement for succesful functioning either, nor
possible causes of errors).

Apart from that, airdriver-ng should probably depend on distribution
kernel source and apply patches there, if possible.
