I'm having extreme difficulty trying to get the drivers and firmware installed for the Intel Pro/Wireless IPW2200BG card on my Toshiba Satellite running Fedora 3 2.6.12-1.1381_FC3. When I untar the driver and try "make", I get the following:

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1381_FC3/build SUBDIRS=/usr/local/src/intel_ipw2200/ipw2200-1.0.0 MODVERDIR=/usr/local/src/intel_ipw2200/ipw2200-1.0.0 modules

Any ideas would be very helpful. I've been out to the sourceforce.net site and still not able to resolve this situation.

Thanks,

Did you try just make as the comand.


Also.. Are you running it as root?
 
hidden75,

Yes, this is the result of the 'make' command by itself. And yes, I am running as root. Thanks for catching that, I should have included that info in my original post.

BTW, I was able to get it up and running using 'yum' to install everything, then used the network configuration tool to get it initialized and activated.

Thanks,
