Compiling Compat Wireless

I've been trying to compile compat-wireless for the past couple of days with no success. The package i'm using is the one from aur:

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16829

I've altered the package build to comply with the current kernel and changed the md5 for .32.2 kernel version etc but I cannot get it too build. Has anybody successfully built this package recently?

Cheers,
Jack.

Re: Compiling Compat Wireless

I could never get the AUR package of compat-wireless to build. Instead, I went straight to the source... and built it manually:

That has always worked fine. Just make sure you have kernel26-headers installed. I should also note, I only need the ath9k driver and use the included driver-select script to build only that. I suppose you could still have problems building a different driver. At any rate, it's pretty easy to build and install (and uninstall if you need), just read the above page thouroughly first.
