Hi,
I'm very new to the linux operating systems so please treat me as a

I have an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG built into my laptop and I am
trying to adapt the latest version of ubuntu to work with it. I followed
some online instructions and downloaded the mac80211-10.0.4 tar,
unpacked it and used this command:
make SHELL=/bin/bash
but received the following error:

Would you have any idea where I'm going wrong?
apt-get install patch
apt-getting patch will indeed solve that error, but will surely generate a different one a bit later in the
process.
If you have the latest version of ubuntu, you probably don't want to mess with the packages
at intellinuxwireless.org. as I understand it, they are deprecated for everything except older
kernels, from before iwlwifi was merged.
I think 8.04 ubuntu has a 2.6.24 kernel, so most likely it already has iwlwifi. You probaby want to
check that you have the firmware installed. in /lib/firmware.
if you really want the latest driver the compat wireless project is probably the way to go.
