Re: madwifi

I have been using the CVS version of the driver with 2.6 for awhile, and 
it appears to work fine. However, it does require vmlinux in order to 
complete its compilation process.

When the kernel is built, vmlinux is created. I believe that the Fedora 
2.6 kernel RPMs package vmlinux in the kernel-debuginfo RPM. Therefore, 
you can get vmlinux for your running kernel by rebuilding the kernel 
using the kernel-source RPM with the kernel config file in the boot 
directory, or by installing the kernel-debuginfo RPM.

Personally, I have been rebuilding the kernel from the kernel-source 
RPM, since kernel-debuginfo is so large.
