I'm running slackware 9.1 and the 2.4.23 kernel and im having some 
trouble.  My card worked great in 2.4.23rc3 in slack 9.0 but now I cant 
seem to get anything working. (netgear wg511 on dell laptop).

Any comments appreciated -

2.4.23 returns an error in make dep:

"make[7]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.23/drivers/net/wireless'
make -C prism54 fastdep
make: *** prism54: No such file or directory.  Stop.

When I compile the module externally it will compile fine but when 
insmod/modprobed it returns:

"/lib/modules/2.4.23/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/prism54/prism54.o: 
unresolved symbol request_firmware_Rsmp_38ce5074

failed
/lib/modules/2.4.23/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/prism54/prism54.o:

I tried it in 2.6, and it wont compile, it returns errors:

"scripts/Makefile.build:13: drivers/net/wireless/prism54/Makefile: No 
such file or directory"
