I’m new to Linux and having a problem installing ndiswrapper when I type make or make install I get this response
[root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.8]# make install make -C driver install make[1]: Entering directory `/home/matthew/ndiswrapper-1.8/driver' Can't find kernel sources in /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/build; give the path to kernel sources with KSRC=<path> argument to make make[1]: *** [prereq_check] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/matthew/ndiswrapper-1.8/driver' make: *** [install] Error 2 [root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.8] This is with a fresh install of Fedora core 4 I have spent two days searching the Internet and trying things but I have run out of ideas.

Thanks for the quick reply
I had a look in add or remove packages but can’t find kernel-source. |
|
I found kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.i586.rpm on FC4-i386-disc4 this is what happens
[matthew@localhost ~]$ rpm -Uvh kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.i586.rpm warning: kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.i586.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2 error: Failed dependencies: /usr/sbin/hardlink is needed by kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.i586 [matthew@localhost ~]$ |
I'm not a Fedora expert but I think "yum" can solve the dependencies problem, or you have to install the missing package (hardlink) an so on.
|
I can't use yum because I don't have an internet connection that’s why I’m trying to install ndiswrapper so I can access the internet via my wireless pci card.
Thanks for all the help I’m starting to lose hope I’ve been trying to install ndiswrapper for 3 days maybe I should try a different distribution. |

It works!!!!!!
I'm typing this from Linux. I downloaded and installed kernel-module-ndiswrapper-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4-1.2-0.lvn.3.4.i686 and ndiswrapper-1.2-0.lvn.3.4.i386 from washington.kelkoo.net/ftp/pu.../i386/RPMS.lvn then just followed the ndiswrapper installation guide it all worked perfectly Thank you for the help Matt |
Glad to see you have made it.
