Hi I followed the link.

mkdir /tools
mkdir /tools/include
mkdir /tools/include/asm
cp include/asm/* /tools/include/asm
cp -R include/asm-generic /tools/include
cp -R include/linux /tools/include
touch /tools/include/linux/autoconf.h
make include

Got back the same error message. Are there anything I have missed out?

I am sorry. You don't have to do make include. I wrote make include out of my old memmory. Sorry please. But I didn't understand why you need kernel header for x-box wlan driver building

Ok have a look at these. I followed your method.

If I don't follow your method, I will encounter these.

Quote:
Linux source directory [/usr/src/linux-2.4.29]:
Linux source tree /usr/src/linux-2.4.29 is incomplete or missing!
The kernel header files are present, but not the full source code.
See the HOWTO for a list of FTP sites for current kernel sources.

Configuration failed

make: *** [config] Error 1
xebian:/home/live/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre26#
Any idea?
