WiFi Card WPC54G Driver problems, cant get ndiswrapper working
 

Hello,
Im new with linux and I am using SuSE 8.2 live avail, everything went great so far. Altho I cant get my Linksys WPC54G WiFi Card installed.

I read on the internet that there is a solution called "ndiswrapper" so i can use my windows drivers... problem is that this comes as a source code, so i have to MAKE it using the make command... but if i type make it says not found.

This is where i searched and found out my linux doesnt have make installed! and that i have to download the GNU Makefiles, fine.. i did that and i read the readme wich told me to go to the dir of the project and type
./configure so it would configure and install the makefiles, but it said a few things.. and then it said "No compiler found at $PATH"

Im Getting sick of doing all this stuff all the time.. i just want my Wireless LAN card to work... help?

Thanks ALOT!!!

So do you have make installed properly now or are you still at installing make? There should be easy to use packages for Suse to install make. If it's not in your path you have to add the it to your $PATH. The $PATH is a list of directories which will be searched for programs that are often used so you don't have to type the whole directory. The directory make should be in is /usr/bin so you have to add that to your $PATH. Here's an explanation on how you can do that: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/prepostpath.htm

please read the post i just posted

it should help you, i have the same card.

Hey, sorry but thats kind of useless when i cant get ndiswrapper working. I knew all that already, just google it and u get tons of pages saying the same... thanks anyways.

Have you managed to get make installed yet? I really recommend just using the suse packages.

there are packages for ndiswrapper also..
or you can get a binary distribution ov gcc..

hope you fare well...
