Hi - I'm trying to get wireless running on CentOS 4.7 on a dual core laptop
(latitude-e4500) for an employee.
I'm having trouble with building dkms-ndiswraper-1.54-1.el4.rf -
enclosed are the
errors messages.
The kernel was rebuilt to disable CONFIG_4KSTACKS.
The errors prior to rebuilding the kernel are identical to the errors after
rebuilding the kernel and rebooting - minus the error regarding the
CONFIG_4KSTACKS.
Basically I just typed
make
in the directory.
I'm using dkms this time - I've never used it before. I'm under the
impression
that all I had to do was type 'make' in the directory in the ndiswrapper
directory.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Instead you use dkms add, dkms build, and dkms install commands. The rpm should do these for you, but you can always use the commands yourself to see what's going on. dkms status is also useful. man dkms will tell you all. Not to say that this will solve your build problems, but... Also, try the rpmforge list as this is an rpmforge rpm.
