For the wireless I have copied the ucode (iwlwifi-1000-3.ucode) to /lib/firmware but I dont know what to do from here!!!
I tryed to find the file rc.modules, but I can;t find....


for my AR8131 I.ve downloaded AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.4.tar.gz
and I saved it to /usr/local/src and untar in there!!
I tryed to install "Untar the files, cd into the src directory, make, make install, modprobe atl1e"

but always when i type MAKE, or make install in the folder /src i~m getting the following sg "Makefile:61: *** Linux Kernel source not found. stop."
