make
mrproper -- won't.

What did I mess up?? A link?? Where??



Listmates,

I don't know how the most recent kernel update failed to update the
kernel
source and kernel obj links, but that is what happened. Not needing to, but not
knowing better, I simply reinstalled the kernel-source that disclosed the
problem. (I know, I could have just changed the links, but I didn't, at the
time, know which ones were messed up):

[22:58 alchemy/usr/src/linux] # rpm -Uvh --force
/home/david/linux/kernel/rpms/2.6.25.18/kernel-source-2.6.25.18-0.2.x86_64.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:kernel-source ########################################### [100%]
Changing symlink /usr/src/linux from linux-2.6.25.16-0.1 to linux-2.6.25.18-0.2
Changing symlink /usr/src/linux-obj from linux-2.6.25.16-0.1-obj to
linux-2.6.25.18-0.2-obj

Ah hah! Now the kernel source is configured properly again -- doesn't
explain
how it got unconfigured to begin with, but all is again well. Now back to help
Andre with the madwifi driver that I suspect is failing for the same reason....
