Problem installing rt2570 driver

elixelle · 03-02-2006, 05:25 AM

I'm using RedHat Enterprise Linux 4.0AS and am having problems installing the rt2570 driver for my LinkSys WUSB54G V4.

I've extracted the tarball downloaded from serialmonkey but when I type in

Code:

make

in the terminal, the following error occurs:

Code:

Entering directory '/lib/modules/2.6.9-5.EL/build'
*** No rule to make target 'modules'. Stop.
Leaving directory '/lib/modules/2.6.9-5.EL/build'
rt2570.ko failed to build!
*** [module] Error 1

I'm a noob so please go easy on the technical terms because I may not understand them. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Quoting from; http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/FAQ

Q. Why do I get lots of errors when trying to compile ?
A. Probably because you haven't got your kernel sources configured correctly. Ensure that you have the sources in the expected locations (/usr/src/linux-2.x.x) and that you have a symlink from /lib/modules/2.x.x/build to that source folder)

I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to do that. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

All you gotta do is install the kernel-sources package. You just need to go to YUM and search for "kernel" and you'll find a kernel-source that should match your kernel package you already have installed.
