I try to enable wireless system in my dell vostro1510 laptop. The wireless is DellWireless 1505 Draft 802.11n WLAN Mini Card Rev2.0, chipset BCM4328 (broadcom). I follow the advice from internet by http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/red...iswrapper.html.

I downloaded the 1.55 version ndiswrapper from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndis.../files/stable/

untar it and type "make install"
it gave me error as below:

[root@circuit ndiswrapper-1.55]# ls

Note: I kernel version is 2.6.28, which someone compiling for me.. I have no idea how the compiling work. I just want to make my wireless work in linux environment. I also downloaded the dell wireless driver (window).

Help assist me... thank you very much

Hello and welcome to LinuxQuestions,

Looks like you have no compiler installed. What distro are you using?

Kind regards,

Eric

what is distro?
I am using Centos5.2 linux

Linux circuit 2.6.28.1-1kstan #1 SMP Tue Jan 20 19:25:37 MYT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Hi,

That's your distro (Linux Distribution): CentOS 5.2.

Open a terminal and type:
If you get no output then you'll have to install the gcc compiler. I don't have experience with CentOS but I think you should run something like:
to install it.

Also did you run './configure' and 'make' before running make install? and were there any errors on those?

Then try compiling again.

Kind regards,

Eric

Yeah, you are right.
I have to install gcc. May I know from which package.
Note: Centos is equivalent to RHEL.

Thank you very much
