It took me a while to find the time to recompile the kernel from the kernel-source... Which looked like it worked, meaning the vmlinux executable is there in the build directory. Thanks for the help.
I seems I have developed a new problem tough... When tring to install the new kernel I installed it using "rpm -Uvh" which worked all right but uninstalled the current kernel at the same time. Now I get this error when I try to install a kernel... something about grubby not being able to find a sutible template. Does anyone know what this means?
Can someone post thier /boot/grub/menu.lst file such that I might cut and paste it... The don't want to reinstall again...
Thanks. agin.

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.

Hi,
I've been searching all over the internet and can't seem to get the madwifi driver for my DWL-G650 wifi card to compile. Has anyone
had
success compiling the cvs version of madwifi under Core 2 test 1? Everytime I try the build process complains about not finding '/lib/modules/2.6.3-1.96/build/vmlinux'... Is this not included
with
the kernel source? Isin't this driver suppose to work with a 2.6 kernel?
I've attempted it - but encountered similar errors. I suspect
madwif
needs some updates to work with 2.6
