Hi, I've recently installed Mandriva 2008 ( kernel version: 2.6.22.9-desktop586-1mdv ) & I'm having problems trying to configure a wireless pci card encore enlwi-g2. I've the drivers, & I also tryied with NDISwrapper.

First of all, I'll copy the driver components:

< Component >
The driver is composed of several parts:
(1)source code
r818x.tar.gz
stack.tar.gz

(2)Script ot build the modules
makedrv

(3)Script to load/unload modules
wlan0up
wlan0down

(4)Script and configuration for DHCP
wlan0dhcp
ifcfg-wlan0

(5)Supplicant source code
wpa_supplicant-0.3.8.tar.gz

(6)Example of supplicant configuration file
wpa1.conf

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

So, I started building the driver ( logged as 'root' & executing: "./makedrv" ) , and I an error ( I'll copy the log .... )

[root@localhost ~]# cd '/root/Escritorio/rtl8185_linux_26.1010.0531.2006'
[root@localhost rtl8185_linux_26.1010.0531.2006]# ./makedrv

So, I'cant build the modules ( that's what I guess ), and I cant insmod them into the kernel.

I tryied with NDISwrapper , but I couldn't install the new version:

[root@localhost ~]# cd '/root/Escritorio/ndiswrapper-1.52'
[root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.52]# make install
make -C driver install
make[1]: se ingresa al directorio`/root/Escritorio/ndiswrapper-1.52/driver'
Makefile:35: *** Cannot find kernel version in/lib/modules/2.6.22.9-desktop586-1mdv/build, is it configured?. Alto.
make[1]: se sale del directorio `/root/Escritorio/ndiswrapper-1.52/driver'
make: *** [install] Error 2

Please, I'll apreciate if anyone can help me =S

Install the kernel sources package. You need the development system installed, including the kernel sources. You also need to build the kernel once, or the kernel sources won't work. I'm not familiar with Mandriva, so I am not able to explain exactly how to do it.

Thank you ! I'll try this when I've some time
