Wireless with a PCI card (not pcmcia)

[Jason Greene]

After thinking about your reply...  I realized the I am following the 
instructions which I read in the readme....

1. untar  - done
2. make sure the kernel is complied - done
3. make clean - done
4. make config - done
5. make all -  done
6. make install - errors out with the error stated in the first email

I really don't see what I can be doing wrong...  I followed the first 6 steps 
and ....

So exactly what do the instructions say about step 6 erroring out? I didn't 
see that part.
