Error installing IPW2100 driver for Centrino card.

[Guest observer24]

Hello, I am currently using an Intel/PRO 2100b miniPCI card in my vprmatrix 220a5. it works like a charm in XP, however I cannot install the ipw2100 driver. When I run "make" in the driver directory, I get the following output:

<stdin>:1:28: linux/rhconfig.h: No such file or directory
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.3-7mdk/build SUBDIRS=/home/alex/ipw2100-0.54 MODVERDIR=               /home/alex/ipw2100-0.54 modules

It's in the new beta

 

Or read this:

 

In order to use the IPW2100 driver you will need the following:

 

Linux (of course) with a 2.4.26+ or 2.6.4+ kernel [link]. See README.ipw2100 for information on specific options required to be enabled in the kernel.

Wireless Extensions (v16) and Tools (v27) [link]

The IPW2100 driver. You can obtain the latest development snapshot below.

The IPW2100 binary firmware image. The firmware can be obtained here.

and you have a 2.6.3 kernel so you need to upgrade.
