[PlanetCCRMA] Wireless

[fonse006@csusm.edu]

Hello,

It looks like you have your date wrong and you do not have a good build of
the kernel which is needed to to compile modules.  I would try to rebuild
the kernel then try to make the module again. However, you might consider
using the windows drivers with ndiswrapper to get the wireless card to
work.   to be honest ndiswrapper is currently the most reliable way to use
a wireless card.

Yours,
Adam
