ieee80211 stack installation for wireless

Tags:

dear friends, i have installed debian 4 on my laptop which is having a intel 3945 card. but the driver is not there for wireless card. while i was installing ipw3945 driver it asked for ieee80211 stack installation. but while i was trying to install 80211 stack it is giving the following error

Checking in /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686 for ieee80211 components...
grep: /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686/build//.config: No such file or directory
grep: /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686/build//include/linux/autoconf.h: No such file or directory
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686/build M=/home/omprakash/Linux_Dumps/ieee80211-1.2.16 modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686/build'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686/build'
make: *** [modules] Error 2

Again in the install read me file of ieee80211 folder the initial condition is :

The installation requires the compiled kernel sources or headers
against the matching kernel. These are typically found in:

/lib/modules/\`uname -r\`/build

If that directory does not exist, or is empty, you likely need to
install the kernel source packages for your distribution.

SO how to do this?? how to resolve this issue..
plz help me yaar...

You need to install the headers for your running kernel:

apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Installing the headers should have created a link in /lib/modules/$(uname -r) named 'build' and that should point to the installed headers in /usr/src. What headers did you install, and what kernel are you running?
