iwp2200 install problem

[jestir]

after installing bt5 on to my hp compaq nc6220 laptop i noticed that my intell 2200 wirless card was not installed so i seached the forms and searched google and font out what i need to install it so i downloaded
ieee80211-1.2.18
ipw2200_linux_1_2_0
ipw2200-fw-3.1

and started with ieee80211-1.2.18 and followed the install.txt and did every thing it says to do it says that it only works with kernal 2.6.x and bt5 has it. i typed {tar zxvf ieee80211-1.2.18} it worked fine but
then i typed cd ieee80211-1.2.18 and it worked fine
but after i type make like it tells you to do i get this on the terminal

Did you find any solution? I'm in the same boat on a Thinkpad T42.

I'm also having the same problem. please let me know if you have found out how to fix this.

I found a page somewhere that indicated that there is a problem with what I was trying to do, so instead of spending another few hours trying to figure it out, I picked up a $29 USB WiFi adapter, and it worked like a charm.

I think if you are going to work with backtrack you will have to work hard and stick to it to get what you want. I spent 17 hours trying to fix my problem and I found a 2-3 hour fix (building took a long time). I went to Synaptic and reinstalled my kernel. I got new folder that showed up in my /usr/src/ directory and one folder had the drivers and there and all you had to do was cd into it and run make and make install. I forgot the name of the folder but you will know what it is when you see it. after the make install finished, I installed the new ipw2200 firmware mentioned in the post here (move the files into lib/firmware) and then I ran modprobe -r ipw2200 and modprobe ipw2200 and it worked like a charm. I hope this helps everyone. goodluck!
