Here's what I've been reading:

http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html#latest

the second you may not need, I'm on SuSE 8.1.

I have been unsuccessful in configuring my lynksys WPC11 ver 3. on my
laptop so far. But I can't configure the driver because the configure
script can't find my linux kernel src!
