Hi there:

This is probably like a thousand other whiny messages about people who 
are having trouble compiling, but I have to admit I'm stumped.  I have 
been trying to build wlan-ng on a Sony Vaio PCG-F580 laptop for almost 
three weeks now to no avail.  I have custom compiled a kernel, which 
works just fine, using kernel version 2.4.20-31.9 on Redhat 9 (Shrike.)  
I plan on using a variety of wireless cards with this laptop, but the 
primary one I'm working with right now is the Linksys WPC11, version 1.

I am able to run the config script, but upon issuing make, I receive 
several errors once it it hits prism2_cs.c -- it then bombs out.  The 
errors in order are all related directly to prism2_cs.c:

1.  c:27 parse error before "int"
2.  c:27 type defaults to 'int' in declaration of "module_param_array".
3.  c:27 function declaration isn't a prototype
4.  c:27 data definition has no type or storage class
5.  c:26 numlist dfined but not used.

After that it gives make errors 1 and 2 and bombs out.  What am I doing 
wrong here?

Thanks so much in advance!

Michael
