Build the bcm43xx with own kernel
Hi,
I tried to build the bcm43xx driver from the debian package with a
self-made kernel, but I failed.
Firstly I needed the header files for ieee80211softmac. After building
and installing the package I found the include files in
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15.1. The bcm43xx make file searches for them
in my kernel tree /usr/src/linux-2.6.15.1/. How can I "merge" them except
copy the header files into the kernel directory?
But I did it (copy the header files into the kernel directory) and then
got this message:

The package build fine, but when I try to load the driver I get many
error messages from the kernel

Can someone give me a hint, what went wrong?
Have a nice weekend, Jörg.
