ERROR: A compatible subsystem was not found in the following path[s]:

/lib/modules/2.6.21.5 /lib/modules/2.6.21.5/build

You need to install the ieee80211 subsystem from http://ieee80211.sf.net
and point this build to the location where you installed those sources, eg.:

% make IEEE80211_INC=/usr/src/ieee80211/

or use the 'make patch_kernel' within the ieee80211 subsystem to patch your
kernel sources.


i downloaded ieee80211 and after make i recieve this

Puppy already contains the ipw3945 module, plus firmware.
Is there something wrong with this module?

You need the Puppy 2.17 kernel source, from
http://puptrix.org/sources/kernel-2.6.21.5-pup217/
