[MLB-WIRELESS] linux expert help needed

I will send the errors in tonight - have to reinstall firstly as Win2K
is now on there.
but as far as I have been able to get is the rlmod.o compiles but the
proxconf.o and proxnet.o modules wont compile saying something silly
about explicit values given for strstm (all from memory may in
inaccurate).  i have searched the iles and found the erroring lines.
there doesn't seem to be anything wrong there.  Without these two items
compiling, I cant run insmod and actually start playing.  Proxconf and
proxnet are used to configure the networking side of the wireless
driver.  I have not seen anything regarding configuring the kernel.  It
is very basic in that it asks you to run kernel 2.2 or 2.4, install the
latest PCMCIA, then run make config and go from there.  At first I had a
hell of a time getting the make config to work because it tries to pull
settings from the running kernel and always fails. I finally configured
it manually and since then it works - until the prox items.

Depends on the size of the dish.  Basically, size is (ahem) everything.
;-)
The bigger the dish, the more gain - that goes for the grid packs as
well.

Good luck.  What errors does the compilation give?  Does it say you need
to
compile the kernel as well? (sometimes this is necessary with specific
modules, so that the correct kernel options are turned on).
