Exclamation Yoper: Trying to Install Belkin Wireless Card


Hey gang you have been great so far. I want to use my Belkin wireless card and I have the package i need to make it work (or so I am told) <---its "atmelwlandriver" by the way if that helps. The problem is that I need to modify the kernel slightly and I am almost positive that the kernel was not included on the install of Yoper(it is not in the /usr/src/ folder). At any rate, does anyone have any suggestions? Any better ideas? The card is already in the machine and finctions great with my *gulp* XP OS.

PS: I tried editing my LILO boot via the program that is used by Yoper (very similar to Mac OS system preferences) but I have no idea how to edit from that screen, any help?

Cheers

What model and version is this card?

You will need to do apt-get kernel-source to get the kernel source. After you do that (might take a little while) the kernel source should be in the /usr/src.

Ya apt-get will download yoper packages and use its package manger to install them... The kernel source is a big download too...
