Hello, I am trying to get the Intel PRO wireless 3945 adapter running on RedHat Linux Enterprise 5. I think there might be a bug or something in the HOW-TO is missing. (http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=mac80211&n=HOWTO-mac80211) I am stuck in installing the MAC80211 subsystem, these are the steps I am doing (according to HOW-TO). The errors I get are: [root@localhost build]# make moules modules_install scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/i386/Kconfig net/mac80211/Kconfig:5:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'MAC80211' refer to undefined symbol 'CRYPTO_ECB' net/mac80211/Kconfig:11:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'MAC80211' refer to undefined symbol 'NET_SCH_FIFO' make: *** No rule to make target `moules'.
