linux wireless LAN

hi:

I am using linux with kernel version 2.4.7 on my laptop, and plan to
config my wireless LAN card (Linksys WPC11).

I downloaded the open source driver (linux-wlan-0.3.4.tar.gz and
linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre20.tar.gz) from

http://freshmeat.net/projects/linuxwirelesslanproject

however, when I compile, both of them have errors.

What is wrong with them? could someone point out a good open source driver?

Best Regards,

bo

Pretty old kernel, Why not perform an upgrade...(?)

They come in different flavours... What's your version?

IMHO: Nothing. Your system is broken, but how or why is guesswork. You
provided no clues... ;-/

If your card is Prism based, you've allready gotten it...
