ipw2100 wireless drivers
I have downloaded the ipw2100 wireless driver, the ieee80211 whatever-it-is, and tried to compile it. The "make" worked, with warnings; the "make install" gave errors seemingly related to ieee. Anyone have help? Should I post the errors?

It would be really useful posting the output error message.

Thanks. I think I need to compile a new kernel to do this. I currently have 2.6.18-5-686 and 2.6.18-6-486. Which of these is more advanced, should I get a new one, and how do I get rid of the other one?

Also, I need to configure the kernel for some things. I tried to go to /usr/src/linux and do make menuconfig, but it gave me an error:
How can I configure the kernel before compiling it?Code:scripts/Makefile.build:17: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-6-486/scripts/basic/Makefile: No such file or directory make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-6-486/scripts/basic/Makefile'. Stop. make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2
