Hello all. I am not new to Unix/Linux, but I have been out of it for about a year and a half and am rusty in some areas! I am running Linux Red Hat, by the way.

I'm having compile problems for my Netgear driver that I am not seeing addressed here.

Per the instructions on the forum here is some info that it said to include:

/sbin/lspci output:

uname -r output:

2.4.2-2

When I try to compile the files in the linux directory from the CD, it tells me that there is 'nothing to be done' to the file.

When I opened the tar file and tried to make config as the howto file showed me, I get the error "Linux source tree /usr/src/linux is incomplete or missing!"

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Where did you get the module source?
Does it say do a ./configure, make and then make install? Where does it give the problem?
What version is this Redhat 6,7,8,9?
If it was me and you had no data you needed to keep then install a newer distro. If wishing to stay with Redhat type then I would go with FC3 (Fedora Core 3) possiable FC4.

Thanks for the reply, Brian. I am using version 7.1 and I was hoping I would get by with it for the time being, but obviously that isn't going to happen. I am downloading the SUSE version now and will just go that route to make things easier.

Thats would be the best option. You will be in the 2.6 kernel and more current apps. Lets us know if all goes well.

Thanks Brian. I am downloading CD4 of the ISO images now and hope to finish up later today.
