Problems with modules.h and drivers


I get constant error messages with "modules.h" while I try to install any kind of drivers.. does anyone has this file to send to me? i think it's in the /usr/src dir...
thanks!

Go to your kernel source directory (usually this is /usr/src/linux ) and open a terminal. As root, type:
make modules_prepare

I am NOT sure this works but I've read it somewhere. If it doesn't work then you'll need to recompile your kernel. There is much documentation for that.

Yes it works but you have to type "make cloneconfig" before "make modules_prepare"
