Help with kernel source for stk16 kerntel?
 

Hi, I'm trying to get my wireless card to work with my laptop, so I got ndiswrapper. I was able to get it to do a make install with the 2.6.11 kernel but got the warning about 4k stacks.

SO I downloaded kernel-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4.stk16 and the associated .src rpm. I installed both of them, but when I run the make install for ndiswrapper it says it can't find the kernel sources. Is there something else I need to do after installing

kernel-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4.stk16.src.rpm?

I tried to use rpmbuild to build the sources but that didn't seem to work either. Any pointers to some docs or appropriate how tos would be appreciated.

The kernel headers and such needed by most modules should be found at /usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`.

After installing the kernel source rpm, did you go to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and run

rpmbuild -bp --target $(arch) kernel-2.6.spec

That should unpack, distribute, and patch the vanilla kernel.

Yay
 

I tried that rpmbuild command, but was still unable to get ndiswrapper to work. However, I modified the command to this:

rpmbuild -ba --target $(arch) kernel-2.6.spec

and it built everything, and then I installed the devel kernel package it made, and after that ndis compiled correctly, and I was able to scan my wireless network for cells. However I have found that we use cisci leap at my work, and it doesn't look like I have support for that at the moment.
