Info version of package of use.

[Ben Collins (ben-collins)]

You didn't install all the build-deps. Do:

sudo apt-get build-dep linux-source-2.6.15

[Ben Collins (ben-collins)]

FYI, in the future, you can just install linux-kernel-devel and it will pull in everything for you.

[Hervé Fache (rvfh)]

Not enough. Need to install gawk, then delete the partial drivers/usb/net/zd1211/zddevlist.h file. That should do.

linux-kernel-devel should really depend on gawk and libncurses5-dev!
