I am trying to get a patched version of either the orinoco modules, or the linux-wlan, or the new PCMCIA package to 'make' properly. I am getting a whole slew of errors, some of which are showing up when I compile a new kernel as well.
I get the same errors whether i am using FC2's default kernel or a stock 2.6.6 kernel.
Here is my log, any help would be appreciated.
