I´ve posted you an PM with the make errors.

Maybe you have some hints for me? What else can i do?

I needed to update my system for the new gpsdrive devel version which needs a lot of new libs and some new gtk features :/

Thanks
You need to use an older version of GCC (3.4)

Yeah, it's looks like you have to recompile the kernel with the following options:
General
Optimize for size NO

Loadable Module Support
Module Versioning Support NO
Module Signature Verification NO

Proc Type & Features
Use Reister Aruguments (REGPARM) NO

Here's the procedure for recompiling the kernel:
Quote:
fedora-buildrpmtree
rpm -ihv kernel-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5.src.rpm
rpmbuild -bp --target=noarch /root/rpmbuild/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec
cp kernel-2.6.16.config /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.16/linux-2.6.16.noarch/.config
cd rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.16/linux-2.6.16.noarch/
kedit Makefine (Add kernel suffex to -PREP line)
make oldconfig
rpmbuild --target i686 -ba /root/rpmbuild/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec
install ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i686/kernel-devel-2.6.16-1.2080
Funny, the first time I recompiled the kernel, it worked.

Anyways, if you really need a quick fix, just install an older version of the Orinoco firmware on your card (6.X) Then it will work right out of the box without mucking around with the modules.


Still having problems with the 0.13E modules:
pccard: card ejected from slot 0
pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0
orinoco_cs: falsely claims to have parameter irq_mask
orinoco_cs: falsely claims to have parameter irq_mask
pccard: card ejected from slot 0
pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0
orinoco_cs: falsely claims to have parameter irq_mask
orinoco_cs: falsely claims to have parameter irq_mask

I did so much stuff to get Kismet working correctly last time, I don't remember what I all did that is needed to get it working.
