Hi, I have a hp pavilion dm3t with intel HD graphics running ubuntu 10.10 64 bit. I'm trying to compile and install a patched kernel according to this,
https://launchpad.net/~kamalmostafa/+archive/linux-kamal-mjgbacklight

So I downloaded the tarball from here (linked to from the page above): http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=kamal/ubuntu-maverick.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/mjg-backlight

I untar'd it to a directory, entered the directory and did:

make defconfig

I'm not sure if that's what I should have done but it was successful, so I did:

make

which seemed to work fine until it gave these errors:

make[2]: *** [ubuntu/ndiswrapper/iw_ndis.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [ubuntu/ndiswrapper] Error 2
make: *** [ubuntu] Error 2

How can I compile and install this kernel successfully? I'm new to this and would appreciate any help.
