Pavel, Omar and all,
thank you very much for your support. However, I still get the error message:
from <command-line>:0:
/usr/src/compat-wireless-2011-06-30/include/linux/compat-2.6.34.h:23:

r
with the version from today.
BTW: One more question: There seems to be a module "carl9170" in the
2.6.39.2 kernel. Does this replace compat-wireless? Do I only need
this module to get the wlan in monitor mode? (please excuse my
question, I am really new to this...)
Greetings from Munich
