Problems installing ath9k...

When I try my make command I get this;

[azrael@f0rk3d compat-wireless-2.6.33-rc8]$ make
./scripts/gen-compat-autoconf.sh config.mk > include/linux/compat_autoconf.h
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.32-ARCH/build M=/home/azrael/Desktop/compat-wireless-2.6.33-rc8 modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.32-ARCH/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: *** [modules] Error 2

What am I doing wrong?

Re: Problems installing ath9k...

I'm not sure, but I think you need the kernel26-headers package.

Taken from it's description:
"Header files and scripts for building modules for kernel26".

If it doesn't work, await a reply from someone more instructed.

Ya it seems as if you need the kernel header. Not sure if the wireless module will compile against 2.6.32 sources. You might need a 2.6.32-rc6 kernel.

And how would I go about installing this kernel? Sorry, I'm new to actually doing things with kernels.

No, I mean you just need to install the kernel26-headers package through pacman, and you can install ath9k the way you were doing it.
