As per instructions in the latest download of the Orinoco drivers...
Q: How do I compile/install the driver?
"The easiest way is to use the version included in the kernel source, or in David Hinds' pcmcia-cs package." Ignore this, you have chosen otherwise.
"If you need to install a newer version from ozlabs.org, you will need the kernel source for the kernel you are currently running. The Makefile included with the driver assumes that the link /lib/modules/<version>/build points to this, and that you are using the pcmcia modules from the kernel, rather than from pcmcia-cs. If that's true, then just unpack the driver tar file, run "make", become root and run "make install"."
I recommend you do the following..
Check if you have you have the source for your kernel, by opening up your window manager and changing to the directory "/lib/modules". If you see nothing at all, you do not have the source, and should use your system disk to install it. The folder which contains the source for your kernel is titled depending on your distribution of Linux.
On a command line change to a username with superuser priveledges by typing "su -", and then entering your password. Change into the directory that you extracted your source to. Type "make", and wait. If everything goes correctly, type "make install".
However, if you do experience problems, let me know, and I will try my best to assist you.
