When it's finished compiling and you've done 'make install', you'll still haven't installed the modules. There will be several modules that already exist in /lib/modules/kernel-version/../.. Replace those with your new modules. You'll propably have some new modules also. Put them in the same folder. Then run depmod -ae. I've installed version 0-1.4 on a compaq Evo N800v. Turn on the card and run iwconfig. You should have a wlan0 device. This is not recognized by neat so you'll have to configure your card manually. I'll make rpms when my own card arrives. Compaq doesn't seem to be in a hurry to deliver the card so it may take a while. ( 3 weeks and counting.)
