Hi -
I am trying to build the mac80211 system on my Mandirva 2008 package.
Kernel -

# uname -a
Linux localhost 2.6.23.9-1mdv #1 Tue Nov 27 03:30:42 EST 2007 i686
Genuine Intel® CPU T2060 @ 1.60GHz GNU/Linux

I am looking at the instructions available here -

http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=mac80211&...=HOWTO-mac80211 .

After running make on 10.0.4 version of mac80211 - this is what I get
on the console.

----patch failure output-----

Can somebody let me know what I am missing here.
Thanks for the help.

Are you sure it doesn't already exist within the kernel already? Check your /boot/config-xxxxxxx where xxxxxx is the kernel version you are running now, like this:



You should get some results similar to this:



as you can see, mine has it as a module so all it would take to use it is to modprobe the module name:



I'm not using Mandriva, but I would expect Mandriva to already have this within the kernel.
