Good news. I installed sharutils, and then tried again with the madwifi
cvs download, using the command you gave above.
For anyone else thinking of doing the same thing: make sure you are
running the particular kernel that you want to build madwifi for. (I
also have the kernel-devel package installed.) And when you're done with
the installation (I executed all those commands as root), restart the
machine. In that way, and only that way, the new driver will find the
device and load it as usual.
Now--I /can/ use the current kernel with that interface.
Coincidentally, I've just been exchanging email regarding this driver.
His spec file had a few minor flaws which should be ironed out now.
If you have the usual build tools and the relevant kernel-devel package,
the nightly tarball should "just work." Some of the older ones (before
my complaints) require a litte work, chiefly because the spec expects a
different tarball name (and internal directory name).
wget ...
rpmbuild -ta --target=<arch> <package.tar.gz>
I've been building for FC3 kernels.
