Bug#398971: madwifi-source: does not build with 2.6.17-9

[Alexander Pohl]

Package: madwifi-source
Version: 1:0.9.2+r1710.20060914-1
Severity: important
Justification: fails to build from source

Hi,

The package does not build on freshly installed debian etch. I have configured the sources with 
"fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version="-2-686" --revision 2.6.17-2 --config oldconfig 
configure"
and tried to build with
"fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version="-2-686" --revision 2.6.17-2 
--added-modules madwifi modules_image".
Installed packages:
ii  linux-headers-2.6.17-2 2.6.17-9               Common header files for Linux 2.6.17
ii  linux-headers-2.6.17-2 2.6.17-9               Header files for Linux 2.6.17 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4
ii  linux-kbuild-2.6.17    2.6.17-3               Kbuild infrastructure for Linux 2.6.17
ii  linux-source-2.6.17    2.6.17-9               Linux kernel source for version

Thank you very much,
Alexander
