Package: ipw2100-source Version: 1.1.3-1 Severity: important Tags: patch Hello!
Linux kernel 2.6.14 includes (an old version of) ipw2100 (as well as ieee80211), so in the stock Debian 2.6.14, ipw2100 is compiled as modules: ===== gismo:/home/luca/src# apt-file search ipw2100.ko linux-image-2.6.14-1-386: lib/modules/2.6.14-1-386/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100.ko linux-image-2.6.14-1-686: lib/modules/2.6.14-1-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100.ko linux-image-2.6.14-1-686-smp: lib/modules/2.6.14-1-686-smp/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100.ko linux-image-2.6.14-1-k7: lib/modules/2.6.14-1-k7/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100.ko linux-image-2.6.14-1-k7-smp: lib/modules/2.6.14-1-k7-smp/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100.ko gismo:/home/luca/src# ===== Thus, compiling an external ipw2100 results in a non-installable package: ===== gismo:/home/luca/src# dpkg -i \ ipw2100-modules-2.6.14_1.1.3-1+02.20051107_i386.deb Selecting previously deselected package ipw2100-modules-2.6.14.

Moreover, you should depend on module-init-tools >= 3.1 (so that /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates gets magic priority). The attached patch versus debian/rules solves the problem.
