Hi,
finally found the appropriate forum, I hope.
After the in other respects smooth installation of Ubuntu 6.10 on my laptop I'd like to establish a connection to the WWW via my WLAN USB-stick (avm.de/en/Produkte/FRITZBox/FRITZ_WLAN_USB_Stick/index.html)[/url]. The only installation instruction I found was this German one (wiki.ubuntuusers.de/FRITZ%21WLAN_USB_Stick).
Unfortunately after entering
Code:
cd fritz/src
sudo make
(changing to the unpacked directory and starting the installation) I got this error messages ('Fehler' is the German word for error as you may know):
Code:
ann@ubuntubox:~/fritz/src$ sudo make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/build SUBDIRS=/home/ann/fritz/src modules
make[1]: Betrete Verzeichnis '/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic'
CC [M] /home/ann/fritz/src/main.o
In file included from /home/ann/fritz/src/main.c:31:

make: *** [fwlanusb.o] Fehler 2
'Betrete Verzeichnis' means 'entering directory' and 'Verlasse Verzeichnis' at the end of the error message means 'leaving directory'.
Sorry for the dissected URLs above but as a forum-noob I am not allowed to post links to other sites (wonderful idea!!!).
Any ideas how to get ahead? If you need additional information please let me know.
Thanks in advance...
