[orbit-user] Virtual Mobility - madwifi patch

[Thierry Rakotoarivelo]

Hi Shrini,

To compile kernel modules, you need at least the kernel headers for the 
kernel version you currently use, in your case it seems to be 
2.6.22-3-686 (the entire kernel source will do as well, but will take 
more space...)

Then you have to tell 'make' where these headers/sources are using the 
KERNELPATH environment variable: something like 'make 
KERNELPATH=/usr/src/XXX'

Regards,
Thierry.
