How do you copy the kernel source to another folder (usr/src/rpms), and then create a link from the /lib folder?

hi there

for creating symbolic links , have a look at

man ln

regards

Hmm. Do you really want to do this?

Why not

urpmi kernel-source

Im trying to load a driver for the wusb54g network adapter and I need to create a link to use ndiswrapper.

I ran urpmi kernel-source and installed the files, and now the make and make install work for ndiswrapper.

When I try to install the .inf using ndiswrapper it tells me it's already installed. Even if I use -e to remove it.

Also, when I use -l it says that it's an invalid driver.

How can I uninstall ndiswrapper?

Any installed drivers are located in /etc/ndiswrapper/*

merely remove the contents of that directory.

Make sure you use the included ndiswrapper which was provided with 10.1.

I'm currently using it for my laptop and it works just great.

You do NOT have to recompile the kernel to utilize it, and it's better if you do not.

However make sure you have the kernel sources installed and that you have installed ndiswrapper via urpmi.

At worst you can uninstall it then reinstall it to clean anything up.

e.g. type this in EXACTLY as root.


rpm -e `rpm -qa | grep ndiswrapper`

The above does the following...

The rpm -qa lists ALL of your installed rpm files and passes the results to the grep command.

Grep filters out everything EXCEPT the entry containing the word ndiswrapper.

The backquote causes the result of this to be passed to the outer rpm -e command which uninstalls the found file.

Now wait a few seconds and re-install it.

urpmi ndiswrapper

That command didn't work.

Then you either do not have ndiswrapper installed via rpm or you mistyped.

rpm -e `rpm -qa | grep ndiswrapper `

The vertacle bar (shift \ ) is important as are the backquotes.
