Hello Gurus,

I am trying to configure wireless network on my thinkpad T61 running "Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga)" from /etc/redhat-release.

I downloaded the firmware and the module package from intel and trying to
build the module for my wireless NIC using these instructions (
http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi&n=howto-iwlwifi) but somehow
its not working and not giving me any errors either...

root at apples - /tmp/iwlwifi-1.2.25 --> make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.el5/source
O=/lib/modules/2.6.18-194.el5/build M=/tmp/iwlwifi-1.2.25/compatible/
EXTRA_CFLAGS="-DCONFIG_IWL3945_DEBUG=y -DCONFIG_IWL4965_DEBUG=y
-DCONFIG_IWL3945_SPECTRUM_MEASUREMENT=y
-DCONFIG_IWL4965_SPECTRUM_MEASUREMENT=y -DCONFIG_IWL4965_SENSITIVITY=y
-DCONFIG_IWL3945_QOS=y -DCONFIG_IWL4965_QOS=y" modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-194.el5-x86_64'
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-194.el5-x86_64'

Has anyone build the module for "Intel Wireless WiFi 4965AGN" successfully
then can you please tell me what am I missing?

Thanks
Monty
