pae module from Gunter... problems

[David Minodier]

Hi all,
I'm trying to compile the PAE module found at
http://www.informatik.uni-rostock.de/~gbur/pae/pae-0.0.2.tar.gz
written by Gunter. And I have a few questions here. I've read the entire
mailing list since December and I'm quite confused...

- is this module a standalone module or is it now included in hostapd-0.3.4?
(well, does not seem included, but, is hostapd-0.3.4 patched for it now,
or do we still have to apply the patches ?)
- I have a Sarge Debian system. I can't figure out how to compile something
from the Makefile provided in the PAE package. (I'm not particularly good at
modifying Makefiles though !) My kernel source is located at :
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8 while the headers are in
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-1-686-smp. What is to be modified in the
Makefile so that the includes of the .h work ? The original Makefile is left
at the end of this message.
- has anyone managed to compile it and make it works on a Debian
2.6.8-1-686-smp kernel ?

Many thanks to all, and again, congrads to both the hostapd and pae
developpers !

Yours,
David.
