Downloaded the compat-wireless source into /usr/src, but when I go into the directory to run make I get this error. I googled it and the common response to it was to install kernel headers (which I did). Anyone have any ideas?

$ sudo make

What *nix are you running?

on most posix compliant systems you have to run ./configure before make

Yes, run configure. It looks like it's setting your shell as /bin/sh, when it should be using /bin/bash.

you also shouldn't be running make as root(sudo).
