Can't build kernel module on 2.6.12

["Richard W. Knight" <rick_knight at rlknight dot com>]

Hi,

I think I've tried everything, but I cannot get this to work. All of the 
packages install OK but I cannot get the module to build. I've tried all 
of the methods in the howto and every time the results are the same. 
Here's the output of #/usr/src/modules/fglrx/sh ./make.sh...

I have a custom kernel in that I installed "Suspend2", but otherwise I'm 
running Kubuntu-5.10 (breezy) with 2.6.12-10.25. I've tried to install 
8.21.7 and 8.20.8 with the same results. Also, when I added wireless 
support I had to apply a "no-cast" patch to the ieee80211 source to get 
it to build properly. Could fglrx module also need a "no-cast" patch?

Thanks,
Rick Knight
