[orbit-user] Problem in compiling madwifi driver

[Thierry Rakotoarivelo]

Hi Puneet,

If the kernel headers + building tools are not available for your kernel 
version through apt-get,  you can also find them here:

http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

(as direct download + install with 'dpkg', or add the relevant entry in 
your '/etc/apt/sources.list' file).

I think that the 'repository1' machine at Winlab also have mirror of 
these packages for the kernel version used in the baseline images.

However I am not sure about the exact server+path you should add to your 
'/etc/apt/sources.list' file to access them. Maybe you could have a look 
at the content of sources.list on other Winlab hosts, or maybe someone 
else in the dev team can give you that information.

Regards,
Thierry.
