errors compiling driver for alfa wlan usb
I'm running centos 5.10 64 bit and trying to compile a driver for an alfa usb wlan device, model AWUS036H.
#uname -r gives 2.6.18-371.12.1.el5 so I downloaded and extracted rtl8187L_linux_1041.0209.2012.tar.gz from the alfa website however I've getting a ton or errors when I run make:
Code:

I've been trawling google but can't find a solution to this, maybe I'm missing some simple package but i don't know what it is. I have gcc and gcc-c++ and kernel-devel installed, thanks for any help. |
