Installing Madwifi...cant find .config

Quiltface · 03-30-2006, 11:49 PM

I just install mandriva 2006 (had this same problem with fedora5...but not fedora4or3)

I try to run the make command and i get

Malefile.inc:113: *** KERNELPATH: does not exist. Stop.

Im not sure where the kernel path is and i am sad.

I thought it should be in /usr/src/linux but that directory doesnt even exist on my machine i only have /usr/src/RPM

You need to install the kernel-source package. There may also be a kernel-headers package you can install also. There will be a README file by Mandriva about compiling kernel modules. Also read the relevent parts of the Mandriva administrators guide.

im pretty new at this. is the readme on the cd or on the hard drive somewhere

and will that show me how to install the source package?

Did you read the madwifi support page for Mandriva yet?
