The problem in install the wifi card wmp55ag


hi,

I have plugged the wifi card into my computer, and downloaded the driver madwifi.

In order to install the driver, I use the command "make" to compile the driver. It gives the following error message: " NO rule to make target 'modules': stop".

What's the problem? How to solove it? Thanks

Peng

did you try this

did you try typing,
# ./configure

first?

just "./configure"

then "make"

then "make install"

is the usual order of business on compilations...

Well, I read about the subject, and it looks like your distro needs the kernel sources installed... read more here:
