> I'm attempting to configure my laptop (custom build on ASUS) for WIFI
> using Debian Etch. The ethernet card is Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG. The
> Wiki-Debian How-To Manual provides instructions, but I'm having
> problems. When attempting to build ieee80211, the following error
> message appears:
>
> dh_gencontrol: command returned error code 65280
> make[1]: *** [binary-modules] Error 1
> make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/ieee80211'
