My Makefile has KERNEL_PATH=/usr/src/linux-2.6.3 which is correct.

make install doesn't work at the moment. it brings up: 
Makefile:38: WARNING: No kernel PCMCIA support found and PCMCIA_PATH is
not defined
Installing /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf
cp: cannot create regular file `/etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf': No such
file or directory
make: *** [install_conf] Error 1

i believe the .o - files were copied when I tried make install_pci. 


any idea how I can run a normal make install? 

And: will copying th .ko - files to the right dir work? 

Cheers, 

Julian
