HI all,
I have installed the newer kernel 2.6.35.4 and everything seems fine.To compile it,I followed this tut,http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/compil...kernel-26.html
The problem I have is everytime I try to install anything,I get an error "bcmwl-kernel-source failed to install or upgrade".
The installation completes for the default 2.6.32.24 generic kernel but fails for this newer kernel.
Any software I try to install now fails for the .35 with the same error.
I have attached 3 screenshots showing the error message in more details hopefully.
I had installed the .34 kernel and had the exact problem(screenshot.jpg)
Error message is shown very clearly in third attachment,sorry I couldn't manage to copy the error and paste it.
Cheers

Hello, try to go to directory: /etc/kernel and you should have 1 or more subdirectories in which are some post processing scripts.
When you find some script called or named dkms try to do sudo chmod 644 dkms.

You installation or uninstallation fails because of dkms.

If you make sure that dkms is not called when you install or uninstall the kernel then it wont fail.

HI
I have run the command you suggested,it runs fine here
/etc/kernel/postinst.d# sudo chmod 644 dkms
however,i still get the same error as before.I have tracked the error report and here are the contents

Am searching the web on the error linux/autoconf.h: No such file or directory

Well ok then, try to move those scripts from /etc/kernel someplace else temporarily.
Put them someplace then try again.
