I have been using an old version (Prism2-2002-01-03) of the HostAP driver successfully with my Compaq WL200. I tried to upgrade to Prism2-2002-04-24 but have been unable to compile it, and the problem seems to be different from the other ones recently discussed on the list. Any suggestions will be gratefully received.
Redhat 7.2 with kernel 2.4.9
External pcmcia support, version pcmcia-cs-3.1.33
I copied the driver files to pcmcia source directory and did "make config" (see below for details)
I did "make all".
Pcmcia compilation proceeded normally till it got
to the prism2 driver then failed with the message
In file included from prism2.c:65,
from hostap_cs.c:67:
make[2]: *** [hostap_cs.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/pcmcia-cs-3.1.33/modules'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/pcmcia-cs-3.1.33'
2) Here is the output from "make config" in the pcmcia
source directory (lightly edited)
