Hi all, I'm on FC3 and just bought an Edimax EW-7128g wlan card which uses a ralink 2500 chipset. I downloaded the ralink driver from sourceforge.net. The problem is, when I run 'make' inside the module directory I get this error:
[root@localhost Module]# make
make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/build'
make[1]: *** No hay ninguna regla para construir el objetivo `descargas/rt2500-1.1.0/Module'. Alto.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/build'
rt2500.ko failed to build!
make: *** [module] Error 1
(The translation of the spanish phrase would be something like: "There is no rule to build the target 'descargas/rt2500-1.1.0/Module'. Stop".) I tried both, as user, and as root, and failed to build it (The README file says one must run 'make' & 'make install-fedora' for FC). Does someone know what might be wrong and how to solve it?
Thanks in advance.
Done, the whole problem was that the driver was located inside a directory named 'Mis descargas', and since there's a space between 'Mis' and 'descargas' make failed to compiled. I just uncompressed the driver inside my home directory and compiled perfectly. Thanks for the links, anyway.
