You were not getting this behavior?
Yes I was. As root, cd into /usr/src/linux and run make cloneconfig then make bzImage. When this completes run make modules. This may be all that is necessary. Go back to your ipw3945-1.2.2 directory and try make. Let me know how this turns out for you.
Hey Carl,
Actually I just decided to umrpm the source files and created a patch and modified the spec file (to stay in guidlines of how the Novell stuff is done, by preserving the original source).
Thanks..
Ben,
Can you enlighten me on this? Sounds like you found a better way.
Thanks
Sure.. Downloaded ipw3945 kmp source rpm. unrpm the downloaded source rpm file.
Modified the .spec file to add a patch to apply to the source ipw3945.c file.
Rebuilt the source and was good :)
You can check some basic build stuff from this Novell Cool Solution:
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/11793.html or possibly this article: http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Build_Tutorial
I created my patch file using the diff command.
You can see alot of what I did at this bug report: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330995
Where I have also provided an updated RPM with the changes I needed due to failing ipw3945 driver (connecting to open encryption AP's).
