Mike: I wanted to try out your patch, but I couldn't compile the driver.

It's a bit off-topic, but what am I doing wrong?
I retrieved the kernel source (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide), installed the build utilities, did "make net/drivers/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945.ko", copied the drivers to /lib/modules/2.6.27-6-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi, but it says:
"FATAL: Error inserting iwl3945 (/lib/modules/2.6.27-6-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945.ko): Invalid module format"

(This is an unpatched kernel, I wanted to try building the driver first)
