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:
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/build SUBDIRS=/tmp/iburst/iburst-1.2.1 modulesmake[1]: Entering directory '/lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/build'
make [1] : *** No rule to make target 'modules'. Stop.
make [1]: Leaving directory /lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/build
make: *** [default] Error 2
|
What do I do now? The 'modules' directory exists, and I dont have a clue.
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:
2.6 Kernel Installation for Debian/Ubuntu Linux
Step 0. Make sure you have linux-headers package for your kernel,
A P4 kernel uses the linux-headers-2.6.10-5-686 package you can
run "COLUMNS=150 dpkg --list|grep kernel" to find out the current kernel
on the system
Step 0a. apt-get install pppoeconf ppp pppoe
Step 1. Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/ibdriver/ and download the
latest driver into /tmp directory, you also need to be logged in as root.
Step 2. cd /tmp; tar xzvf <filename>; cd <directory>
Step 3. make && make install (check to see if there were any errors)
Step 4. edit /etc/network/interfaces and paste the following lines at
the bottom
auto nas-ib
iface nas-ib inet manual
up ifconfig $IFACE up
up pon dsl-provider
down poff dsl-provider
down ifconfig $IFACE down
Step 5. Edit /etc/modprobe.d/iburst.modprobe and paste the following
options ib-net ifname="nas-ib"
options ib-pcmcia debug=7 interval=100
Step 6. Edit /etc/pcmcia/iburst.conf and paste the following
device "iburst_cs"
class "network" module "ib-pcmcia"
card "ArrayComm ut02"
manfid 0x02e3, 0x0001
bind "iburst_cs"
card "ArrayComm ut02"
manfid 0x02e3, 0x0002
bind "iburst_cs"
Step 7. run /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart
Step 8. run pppoeconf
Step 9. Insert iBurst card and wait a minute or so for the interface to
come up and pppoe to be triggered, you should have a working link
by this stage.

I thought I needed to install the driver, as you can see I only get to Step 3.
Thanks for your advice, I will read up on those topics you suggested.

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.

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.
