[Madwifi-users] [hal.o] Error 1 ath_hal.o Never Builds

[xip-e <bel...@ea...>]

Got the latest madwifi package via CVS (last week).  Using RH9, kernel =
2.4.20-8 on a Compaq Presario 2195us.  I have kernel source, kernel =
development, development tools, and sharutils-4.2.1-14.  =
CONFIG_NET_RADIO AND CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS are enabled in kernel.  Have =
latest pcmcia-cs from SourceForge.

When trying to build the madwifi drivers, I do MAKE, but an error =
message pops up, and I'm screwed.  As a result, the file ath_hal.o never =
builds, and I can proceed no further.  The section containing the error =
reads:

frame-pointer ../hal/linux/ah_osdep.c
uudecode < ../hal/linux/i386-elf.hal.o.uu
uudecode: stdin: No 'end' line
make [1]: *** [hal.o] Error 1
make [1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/madwifi/ath-hal

Googling this subject returns a few ideas, but nothing very definitive.  =
Surely, someone on this list knows what all of this means!  Need help, =
please!

Tried downloading some of Dag's madwifi rpm packages, but, because =
there's not one specific to my kernel, they don't seem to work, although =
they *install* without any error messages at all.  Dang!
