IBM R50p wireless support

[Sparticat]

Trying to install madwifi drivers for internal Atheros wireless nic. IBM R50p 1832-22u with internal 802.11b/g. I have a hd install of Knoppix 3.3 2-16-04- everything else working ok. I have download the madwifi drivers, but when I try to make I get-

root@mcurtin5:~/madwifi# make
for i in ./ath_hal ./wlan ./driver; do \
(cd $i; make); \
done

This is a stock Debian install via the knoppix-installer script. I have not recompiled my own kernel.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

do you have the linux kernel source ? More specifically, the source that used to build your current running kernel, assuming it is from KNOPPIX ?

You need the exact kernel source there your current kernel is from as well as the right gcc compiler(again the one used to build your kernel) in order to build additional modules to run with it.
