[Ndiswrapper-general] Cannot compile on 2.4.18

[Adar D. <ad...@st...>]

Hello all,

    I am trying to compile ndiswrapper on my old Toshiba laptop to use 
with a Linksys WPC54G card, since Broadcom has not released the drives 
for said card. However, my compilation of wrapper.o fails. Here is some 
output:

Apologies for the copious output, but does anyone know what is going on, 
or what I should do? Should I try using a 2.6 test kernel? Is GCC 3.3.3 
not the right choice? For what it's worth, I tried using gcc-2.95 (by 
adding CC=gcc-2.95 into Makefile.24) and I got the same results. I also 
downloaded the kernel headers for 2.4.22 (which have the missing 
"net/iw_handler.h" file), added their path to Makefile.24, with more or 
less the same results. Any ideas?
