I did install the linux-headers-2.6-powerpc.

When I run 'make menuconfig' in the kernel source directory, I found the
Realtek RTL8192CU/RTL8188CU USB Wireless Network Adapter
module
in the
Linux/powerpc 2.6.39.4-4 Kernel Configuration / \
Device Drivers / Network device support / Wireless LAN
In menuconfig I saved the setup in to .config file.
But when I run after 'make menuconfig' the 'make' command, I get error message:
arch/powerpc/kernel/align.c: In function ‘fix_alignment’:
arch/powerpc/kernel/align.c:704:33: error: variable ‘instruction’ set
but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/align.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel] Error 2
What could be the problem here?
