I am trying to get the wireless working on my Lenovo X61. I have an Intel wireless 4965AGN. I have a brand new SuSE 10.2 install (64 bit).
As best I can tell, I need to recompile my kernel(which is currently stock SuSE) with the mac80211 patch in order to get it to work (per these instructions: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi&n=HOWTO-iwlwifi). but I get compile errors (see the bottom of the included shell output). Google has proven unhelpful.
Has anyone gotten this wireless card working on 10.2, or have any ideas how to go about fixing the compile errors?
Thanks in advance for any help.

The header file curses.h is missing. It's in the package ncurses-devel (I used pin to find out), so you should install that first. All other error messages are consequences of the missing header file.
