Okay, so it's a vendor 2.6 kernel.  I suppsoe that was inevitable.. FWIW 
I've only used stock kernel.org tarballs.

This is the kind of error you'd get if you haven't actually tried to 
build the kernel, or rather, the equivalent of 'make dep' hasn't run.  
That step is automatic in the 2.6 kernels.

More bogosity -- linux-wlan-ng builds itself using the kernel's own 
makefiles and build system.  If this doesn't work, it's because there's 
something wrong with that kernel tree.

WTF?   This build rule is only supposed to be called by a 2.4 kernel.

There's apparently many, many things in the FC2 2.6.4 kernel that aren't 
there in a stock 2.6.4 kernel..

anyway, here's my build log, for what it's worth. 


[solomon at lunchbox linux-wlan-ng]$ ./Configure 

-------------- Linux WLAN Configuration Script -------------

The default responses are correct for most users.

Build Prism2.x PCMCIA Card Services (_cs) driver? (y/n) [y]: y
Build Prism2 PLX9052 based PCI (_plx) adapter driver? (y/n) [n]: y
Build Prism2.5 native PCI (_pci) driver? (y/n) [n]: y
Build Prism2.5 USB (_usb) driver? (y/n) [n]: y

Linux source directory [/usr/src/linux]: 

The kernel source tree is version 2.6.4.
Kernel 2.5/2.6 support is highly experimental.
The current kernel build date is Thu Mar 11 10:22:06 2004.

Alternate target install root directory on host []: 
PCMCIA script directory [/etc/pcmcia]: 
  Module install directory [/lib/modules/2.6.4]: 

It looks like you have a System V init file setup.


Prefix for build host compiler? (rarely needed) []: 

Build for debugging (see doc/config.debug) (y/n) [n]: 


Configuration successful.
