Problem with wireless driver for Thinkpad X220

Hi guys

I tried to install a driver from the AUR from here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=46797

But I get this error:

-> Found kernel-3.0_support.patch
==> Validating source files with md5sums...
    rtl8192ce_linux_2.6.0006.0321.2011.tar.gz ... Passed
    kernel-3.0_support.patch ... Passed
==> Extracting Sources...
  -> Extracting rtl8192ce_linux_2.6.0006.0321.2011.tar.gz with bsdtar
==> Entering fakeroot environment...

patching file HAL/rtl8192/Makefile
make: *** /lib/modules/3.0-ARCH/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build()

I am using kernel 3.0

I don't know what else to do, I googled a little but found nothing

You need to install linux-headers. I wish you the best of luck -- I had a USB wireless adapter that used the same chipset and couldn't get the driver to compile for the life of me.

There is no system but GNU and Linux is one of its kernels.

Change "kernel-headers" to "linux-headers" in the depends= line. Also notify the maintainer of this error in an AUR comment.
