I am trying to install ipw3945 and I get the problem below. What do I do?
michael@Michaellaptop:~$ cd '/home/michael/Desktop/ipw3945-1.1.2'
michael@Michaellaptop:~/Desktop/ipw3945-1.1.2$ make
/bin/sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
/bin/sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
sed: can't read net/ieee80211.h: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: [[: not found
-e
WARNING: Your kernel contains ieee80211 symbol definitions and you
are not using the kernel's default ieee80211 subsystem. (Perhaps you
used the out-of-tree ieee80211 subsystem's 'make install' or have
provided a path to the ieee80211 subsystem via IEEE80211_INC.)
If you wish to use the out-of-tree ieee80211 subsystem then it is
recommended to use that projects' "make patch_kernel" facility
and rebuild your kernel to update the Module symbol version information.
Failure to do this may result in build warnings and unexpected
behavior when running modules which rely on the ieee80211 subsystem.
-e Aborting the build. You can force the build to continue by adding:
IEEE80211_IGNORE_DUPLICATE=y
to your make command line.

you'll probably get a swifter reply, or someone may have already encountered the same problem if you go to the ubuntu community forums.

EDIT: nevermind, I see you have. -
It seams like you're trying to compile the driver but you don't have the kernel header files in your include path, what ver. of Ubuntu do you have?
-
6.1 Edgy. Yeah my post there isn't getting much help so I thought posting here some of you might know.
-
and you have the same ID there lol, anyways if you have just the eth0, that should be for the Ethernet adapter I believe, so I think you Wireless is not on.
eth1 would be created if the driver (module) is loaded. -
try to install the linux-restricted-modules-generic package, and let us know.
-
I had that installed already with the latest one. Weirdest thing, I just hibernated out of Windows into Ubuntu and my wireless worked. I didn't change anything but we'll see if it holds up.
-
All you have to do to get the Intel 3945 wireless working in Edgy is install Network-Manager. Search the repositories for it.
-
Why are you trying to install those manually? I concur with notebook_ftw... you shouldn't need to compile the driver. I have a 3945 card in my laptop, and it works perfectly and I never had to compile that.
