Default Problem with patching ipw 3945 driver to enable packet injection on wireless card on

I am trying to enable injection on my Toshiba Satellite laptop the wireless card is ipw 3945 as experienced users might know that the driver that comes with Ubuntu does not support injection and the driver needs to be patched.

I have followed http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=ipw3945 from the aircrack site.

I did not get very far with the process although it is simple and straight forward :

I did

wget http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/ipwraw-ng-2.0.0-10072007.tar.bz2
tar -xjf ipwraw-ng*
cd ipwraw-ng
make

but make returns the errors presented.

I did the following steps to make sure I have all the needed dependencie:

apt-get install build-essential

I have downloaded the correct kernel headers and the linux source for my kernel using apt-get...I could not find anything useful using Google..

Your build dir isn't your build dir, if you see what I mean.
All the symbolic links point to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-12, so that is where the building really gets done, not /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-12-386.
The lack of the top-level Kbuild concerns me a bit but I can't see where the Makefile uses it so that may be OK.
By all means go ahead and build - if it works and problems persist it will be time for a rethink
