Problem compiling
I am running Debian etch, and would like to install Madwifi 0.9.2
I have downloaded the kernel from kernel.org, but when I specify its file with "KERNELPATH=" I get an error message that reads ".config not found"
Someone please help, I need to get my wireless card up and running.

I unpacked the tar.gz file, and specified it, and then tried the kernel dir inside the lin-ux kernel folder, and it didnt work.

You need the headers of the kernel you currently have installed, and you can probably get those from apt. That would be better, I think.
