Ok so I was about to install the new drivers following the how to on this webpage
http://www.ces.clemson.edu/linux/fc2-ipw2200.shtml
I removed all the old drivers but then turns out the howto is referring to the following file
/lib/modules/2.6.14-1.1656_FC4/build/.config
to edit it for the monitoring mode and the path in my computer does not exist. Turns out I have a link called build there but its a broken link, its supposed to link to
usr/scr/kernels/2.6.14-1.1656_FC4-i686
I ignored this and then just decided to download the files and install them but then when trying to do the make with the ieee file i had the same problem, its looking to do stuff in the same folder
/lib/modules/2.6.14-1.1656_FC4/build/
looking for files like config and autoconfig
so then I decided to go to usr/scr/kernels and found out there is nothing in /usc/scr the folder is empty. So then I was not able to install anything, I have no idea of where to install it to or where the hell the config files that Im looking for are.
Any suggestions?
Please note that although(from what Ive had read elsewhere) this doesnt seem like a normal instalation, it is. I have not compiled my own kernel nor the such(Im still a newbie here) and therefore have no idea of what happened here that is so different from whats to be expected in the filesystem. I installed FC4 some weeks ago and have then been trying to install stuff to it and all in all make everything work but still have not meddled with the kernel at all.
