Hi,

I am struggling to install WLAN through USB on a DEBIAN/testing system with kernel 2.6.12.

after resetting everything for the nth time with "make clean" and "make mrproper",
I retry as follows:

# zwo:/usr/src/modules/linux-wlan-ng-source# make config
[..]
Build linux-wlan-ng tools? (y/n) [y]: 
Build Prism2.x PCMCIA Card Services (_cs) driver? (y/n) [y]: n
Build Prism2 PLX9052 based PCI (_plx) adapter driver? (y/n) [n]: n
Build Prism2.5 native PCI (_pci) driver? (y/n) [n]: n
Build Prism2.5 USB (_usb) driver? (y/n) [n]: y
Linux source directory [/lib/modules/2.6.12/build]: 
The kernel source tree is version 2.6.12.
Kernel 2.5/2.6 support is highly experimental.
The current kernel build date is Sat Jan 14 00:14:52 2006.
Alternate target install root directory on host []: 
Module install directory [/lib/modules/2.6.12]: 
It looks like you have a System V init file setup.
Prefix for build host compiler? (rarely needed) []: 
Build for debugging (see doc/config.debug) (y/n) [n]: 
Configuration successful.  Now type 'make' and pray.

[I pray. Then I type make:]

zwo:/usr/src/modules/linux-wlan-ng-source# make
set -e; for d in src doc man etc; do make -C $d ; done
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/modules/linux-wlan-ng-source/src'
set -e; for d in mkmeta  shared wlanctl wland nwepgen wlancfg; do make WLAN_SRC=/usr/src/modules/linux-wlan-ng-source/src/ -C $d ; done
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/modules/linux-wlan-ng-source/src/mkmeta'
gcc -E -M -I../include -I/lib/modules/2.6.12/build/include -D__LINUX_WLAN__ ../shared/p80211types.c ../shared/p80211metamsg.c ../shared/p80211metamib.c ../shared/p80211meta.c  mkmetadef.c ../shared/p80211types.c ../shared/p80211metamsg.c ..

[... many more lines. but nowhere a reference to usb ]

zwo:/usr/src/modules/linux-wlan-ng-source# updatedb
zwo:/usr/src/modules/linux-wlan-ng-source# locate prism2_usb
/usr/src/modules/linux-wlan-ng-source/src/prism2/driver/prism2_usb.c

[clearly, the module has not been compiled. But make did not report an error either.]

Thanks for any hint - Joachim
