Compiling problem

why amI having this problem?

Code:

root@slackbox:/home/dealer/p.d/Libs_and_Devel/rtl8180-0.21# make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.12.1/build SUBDIRS=/home/dealer/p.d/Libs_and_Devel/rtl8180-0.21 MODVERDIR=/home/dealer/p.d/Libs_and_Devel/rtl8180-0.21 modules

this problem can be result of no pcmcia card installed right now? I going to buy this card maybe tonight or tomorrow so I was making all the configs so I could test it in place....

But im guessing this may be happening because the d-link dwl610 is not plugged on my pcmcia...

No, that's a problem with the sources excepting a structure's member (it's a kind of variable in C) named slot_name but it can't find it. Check that you've the correct version of libraries that the software requieres to compile.

Im gettingan error when booting the system
something like
cardmgr[2188]: no slot found or no socket

maginotjr · 08-01-2005, 03:00 PM

i forgot, im bootinh with dwl 610 wireless pcmcia card in the slot and having this error... maybe I have to compile some module?

booting with kernel 2.4 it show cardmgr: watching 1 socket

Take a look at this page: http://www.canit.se/~oli/wl/
You'll need pcmcia-cs and wireless-tools packages installed.

I compiled the right modules in my 2.6 kernel and now my cardmgr recognize socket 1 ... I will see your link

maginotjr · 08-01-2005, 04:50 PM

your link is for kernel 2.4 and for the realtek driver from realtek... Im using kernel 2.6 and have the right drive that is from rtl8180 sourceforge..

:/
I just want to know why isnt compiling.

I found a post in German and as far as I understood that driver doesn't work under 2.6.12.X kernels: http://www.debianforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=302045

It seems it's been corrected or have been corrected in CVS version.

Edit: Well, it seems you found one in English, good for you

maginotjr · 08-06-2005, 12:19 AM

yeah, now is working fine.

thanks anyway. The only thing I done was download the CVS version of the driver.
