Linux Newbie unable to install wifi - netgear 511t
 

Hi
I have just downloaded debain linux and trying to install wifi card. Have also downloaded madwifi but when I run make command in the root terminal I get following error:

Makefile.inc:94: *** KERNELPATH must be defined. Stop.

Please advise..
Also if I run isconfig I am unable to see the wireless card.

Still getting the error while running make

but if I run cardctl I get following output

debian:/home/manu# cardctl info
PRODID_1="Atheros Communications, Inc."
PRODID_2="AR5001-0000-0000"
PRODID_3="Wireless LAN Reference Card"
PRODID_4="00"
MANFID=0271,0012
FUNCID=6
PRODID_1=""
PRODID_2=""
PRODID_3=""
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0000,0000
FUNCID=255

but cant see ath0 or eth1 interface for wireless card in kwifimanager,, Please advise

Cardctl will only tell you if the card is plugged in, nothing about drivers.
Make sure you have the kernel sources installed ("apt-get install kernel-source"). If it still doesn't work try compiling via "KERNELPATH=/usr/src/linux-[look in your src directory for exact name] make".
