For compiling, you need to install a parser progam called "flex"
Depending on the distribution you are using, you can either get
it as rpm or deb archive, or simply get the source archive from http://sourceforge.net/projects/lex/
Install it and compile it if you download source
Before retrying to compile in the utils directory,
use "make clean", then restart "make"
Can anyone get the WPC54G Linksys card working for mandrake 9.1? Im a linux newb looking for an easy way for someone new to linux, but trying to learn, to get the wireless working.
I also use WEP 128 bit encryption right now on my Sonyvaio Win XP pro laptop and Mac 17" powerbook laptop. Just cant get the WPC54G working with linux mandrake 9.1.
Please help.
you wll need to update your kernel at least to 2.4.21, to make it work, this project currently is very stable, I have configured it for Mandrake 9.1 and 9.2, an its been working with other distros...
Hi , I used Linuxants Driverloader program, and was able to get it working in both Suse 9 and fedora. The only thing is though on Fedora, I have to unplug and re-insert the card in after i login so it maintains a constant connection. I tried renumbering the services so the pcmcia card would load before the network was brought up (this worked for suse 9), but still having the same issue.
If I do not do this my network connection is intermittent.
Hi yes ive got the same adp andit works fine for win with a dual boot for rh9 cant get it going. After viewing a lot of linux websites it seems the latest version of red hat which is comp is redhat7 i tried a lot of adp s and etho #s inthe drop down box for the activate adp settins none seem to work i was also told that rh9 should have the device drivers for this wireless adps let me know if u get it working and ill do the same for u if i get it going thanks pmasser1
well for Wireless G adapters there is no linux driver yet... we have to rely on wrappers, use ndiswrapper in the link above.. I has been working very well on my system.
CVS version works perfectly under slack 9.1 with kernel 2.6.1.
I also had it working under 2.4.23 and 2.6.0.
Did not try with 2.4.22, though I suspect it would have worked fine.
Release 4 (NOT CVS) did work with 2.4.23 but would not work with 2.6.x.
CVS is apparantly essential for my laptop with the Yenta module for pcmcia
and 2.6 kernel.
I tried to get the WPC54G working on my laptop running Red Hat Linux 9 (Kernel 2.4.20-28.9) with latest ndiswrapper (0.4). I´ve just started with the penguins, so it may was a too hard intro :-) ... therefore I am thankful for every hint / reply to this issue! Automatic shell script was not working either, so I tried the step by step way.
The problem occurs at driver creation:
[root@brainstation driver]# make install

What´s wrong here. Has anyone got it running or has some detailed expertise - any guru that can teach a noop ...
