Question ndiswrapper/madwifi new debian install


after a new install of debian i cannot get an atheros based card working. madwifi 'make' gives me an error that says something like:

/lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/build is missing, please set kernelpath.


um, sorry but how do i do this? i even tried an older version of ndiswrapper because it has a specific folder in it that says debian, but i could not figure out how. i absolutely need to get the wireless up before anything else. i can't have a network connection without it seeing as my ethernet card has never worked on this machine. any help, ANY help would be appreciated. thank you, folks.

dwl-g630. works fine with madwifi or ndiswrapper. the problem im having has got to be a fairly common one but because i can only have a wireless connection, i have a unique issue.

Looks like maybe you are trying to install a Driver for Kernel 2.4 ... I would assume that Kanotix installed a 2.6 Kernel.
