iBurst PCMCIA driver install make error 2 Ubuntu 2.6.10 linux
Hello All,
Yes I am a linux newbie, but a computer professional as a a day job. So heres my question. I am running: Ubuntu 'Hoary Hedgehog' with the 2.6.10 Kernel. Hardware platform is a Toshiba Tecra A2 laptop with an iBurst PCMCIA card for wireless broadband. I downloaded the driver and followed instructions from the net, as well as the readme, but I dont get very far. After unzipping the driver to the /tmp/iburst directory, I get the following error after I try to run the make command: Quote:
Thanks, Y_P |
make [1] : *** No rule to make target 'modules'. Stop.
It means that the "Makefile" does not have a target to do a "make modules". For example, in kernel compilation typical targets are "dep", "modules", "bzImage" etc. So "target 'modules'" has nothing to do with "modules" directory. As you did not actually mention what you were trying to do, I suppose you're trying to compile external Wlan modules. I suggest you check Ubuntu manuals on how to compile a custom kernel and external modules. I can help only with stock Debian procedures. Also check www.google.com/linux: "ubuntu kernel compilation" "ubuntu external modules" Those should provide you with a starting point. |
My Mission
Thank you Basileus.
I am trying to install my iBurst PCCard, which provides a wireless broadband service. I have downloaded the driver which contains the following instructions: Quote:
Thanks for your advice, I will read up on those topics you suggested. Y_P |
I'm having exactly the same problem. Did you find a solution?

You need to make a symbolic link called /lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/build that points to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.10-5-386/
The command would be: ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.10-5-386/ /lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/build Double check the folder name for the linux-headers. I'm typing out of memory and it might be slightly different. |
Thanks guys!!! PHEW!
:) picked up my mate one of these iBURST PCMCIA cards today and was totally cr@pping myself when i saw it only came with a 2.4 kernel driver and redhat scripts... EEEeeekkk.. Problem appears fixed now though! Cheers :) |
Patches to Linux driver for Ubuntu/2.6.12 Kernel
I'm assuming as you have Ubuntu "Hoary" if/when you migrate to "Breezy" or beyond you may want to consider patches posted here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index...84&atid=742190 that fix several bugs in the current driver. |
