[Prism54-users] Makefile adjustment

[matt.carnegie]

Oh..ok. And thanks very much for the quick reply.

  However, that's  only partially sorted out my problem understanding 
it, as my kernel make dep reports:


make _sfdep_prism54 _FASTDEP_ALL_SUB_DIRS="prism54"
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.
make: Entering an unknown directorymake: Leaving an unknown 
directorymake[7]: *** [_sfdep_prism54] Error 2


The /net/wireless Makefile:
obj-$(CONFIG_PRISM54)           += prism54/prism54.o
subdir-$(CONFIG_PRISM54)        += prism54


The files are just not being placed there...when I copy prism54.o 
manually..there's no differenc!

Thanks very much quick reply so far
