Not sure if this is the right place, but the forum title makes it sound like it is.

I'm having trouble building a driver which I've build hundreds of time before with no issues. This is the Atmel wireless adapter chipset driver. There are two different drivers, a SourceForge and a Berlios driver, and I can't seem to compile either one. I got the error message for the Berlios driver, which I currently have installed on 2 other Linux systems (a Debian Etch, and a Slackware 10.2). I've also managed to get the SourceForge driver working in the past, but am also getting an error during the build (completely different error but I forgot to get the error messages written to a file.

These are messages all happen one after the other (I used the 2> redirector).

Someone please shine a light on this!

Thanks.

EDIT: Forgot to mention this is on a very basic Debian Etch install (first CD only).
