Hi All
First post. Hope you can help, Im having some problems getting my wireless card to work.
I use fc5 (build 2.6.18-12239) and have a belkin wireless g card. I have no internet on that pc (due to lack of wireless) so am using a friends laptop & transferring stuff via usb, so I cant use yum.
Ive figured out I need to use ndiswrapper, but on trying to make / make install I get the error:
"
make -C driver
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/seamus/Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.30/driver'
Can't find kernel build files in /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2239.fc5/build;
give the path to kernel build directory with
KBUILD=<path> argument to make
make[1]: *** [prereq_check] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/seamus/Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.30/driver'
make: *** [all] Error 2
"
So when I look at the build link its broken. The standard solution, ie
"
ln -s /usr/src/kernels/<kernel-version> /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/build
"
doesnt help me because /usr/src/kernels doesnt exist! The only directory in /usr/src/redhat
In an attempt to fix this I downloaded kernel-2.6.18-12239.fc5.src.rpm and installed by
"
rpm =Uvh ...
"
which produced the error
"
warning:group brewbuilder does not exist - using root
warning:user brewbuilder does not exist - using root
"
repeated many times, followed by an apparently sucessful install. However, this did not create a kernels directory, nor did it allow install.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Seamus
