Has anybody tried to get compat-wireless working with DKMS?  This would 
be really handy for me since I run Ubuntu and they have been pushing 
kernel updates pretty frequently lately, but I need the newest 
compat-wireless to run my Atheros card in master mode via ath5k...

I tried for quite a while today and the build just won't work.  (The 
'make clean' step returns error 2, and then the build itself fails with 
"(directory it's building in) is a directory.  Stop.")  I think it's 
because the Makefile for compat-wireless uses the PWD environment 
variable, but I'm not well-versed enough in Makefiles to fix it up so 
that it'll work from a different directory (DKMS builds modules in 
/var/lib/dkms/MODULE_NAME/VERSION/build instead of wherever I unpacked 
the source).

Any advice would be appreciated...

Thanks,
