CVS snapshot version problems

[Ashwin Chaugule]

Hi

   I'm using Red Hat 9, kernel ver: 2.4.20-8. I've installed and used hostap 
0.1.3 and 0.2.0 and
   the hostap CVS snapshot previous to the one recently put up, 
successfully.
   However , the new CVS dev. snapshots seem to be causing some trouble. 
I've always installed hostap
   using "make pccard" for my PCL RoadLannerWave PRISM 3 PCMCIA card because 
the "make" command gave errors.
   Anyway , using Make pccard used to work just fine. Now, the dev. snapshot 
version doesnt have "make pccard"
   , so im guessing a simple "make" should do the needful ?

   well , this is what i get :


   [root at localhost hostap]# make
   make -C /usr/src/linux-2.4 SUBDIRS=/project/test/hostap/driver/modules 
modules
   make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8'
   make -r -f tmp_include_depends all
   make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8'
   touch: creating 
`/usr/src/build/231485-i386/install/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/fs/jfs/jfs_debug.h': 
No such file or directory
   make[2]: ***

   make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8'
   make[1]: *** [tmp_include_depends] Error 2
   make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8'
   make: *** [2.4] Error 2
[root at localhost hostap]#


  then i tried "make install"

  [root at localhost hostap]# make install
  find /lib/modules/2.4.20-8 -name "hostap*" | xargs rm -f
  gcc -O2 -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -Wall -g -c  -DMODVERSIONS -include 
/usr/src/linux-2.4/include/linux/modversions.h -fomit-frame-pointer   -c -o 
driver/modules/hostap_crypt_wep.o driver/modules/hostap_crypt_wep.c
  In file included from <command line>:1:

  /usr/src/linux-2.4/include/linux/modversions.h:10:36: 
linux/modules/53c700.ver: No such file or directory


  this goes on for really long !

  I havent recompiled the kernel since my previous hostap install. I read 
somewhere , that the CVS version
  was fixed particularly for Red Hat kernels for having caused an error 
similar to the one shown above.
  I tried this after downloading the latest release just yesterday 
(24/5/04). So I presume I have the supposedly fixed version.
  Also , I did apply the 2.4.20-8 kernel patches as mentioned in the 
kernel-patches README.

  Any suggestions ?

  Regards,
  Ashwin
