I am having a problem installing ndiswrapper for mandrake 10.1 community version. I uninstalled the old version of ndiswrapper that came with mandrake. Then i followed the instalation instructions that were stated online. When i come to the step that says to enter the directory and make install, i get an error message that says that it can't find the kernel sources. i am completly new to linux and i'm not quite sure what this means. Where are these "kernel sources"?

You need to have a symbolic link from /lib/modules... to where the kernel source is located /usr/src...

You also need to have the kernel-source installed.

The kernel-source can either be installed through the mandrake controlcentre or by entering

urpmi kernel-source

To find out the kernel version you actually have, type:

uname -a

Assuming you have kernel version 2.6.8.1-24mdk the following wil set up the symbolic link for you:

ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-24mdk /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-24mdk/build

I am not certain, but I believe you need to have root priviledges when you enter the command above.
