Werid it shouldnt even look at /usr/src/linux it should look at /usr/src/2.6.7
Just to check, I even just made a 2.6.7 symlink that points to linux-2.6.7 in my /usr/src directory, just in case it is looking for 2.6.7.

Run uname -r it should give to the full kernel version. Than go to kernel.org and download the kernel source tar that match that version and than decompress it in /usr/src/2.6.7 (remove the /usr/src/2.6.7 that there now first)...

Actually what I did was find the kernel-2.6.7 package on my slackware installation CD, and I used installpkg to run that. It apparently worked, because now it stopped giving me that error. Now, configuration was successful. Im ready to move on.

The command "make all" stopped with the following error:

cp: cannot stat `usr/src/linux/.tmp_versions' : No such file or directory
make [2] : ***[default] Error 1

then it began to leave various directories like it does when it hits a snag.

I am wondering were it says:
cp: cannot stat `usr/src/linux/.tmp_versions' : No such file or

the usr/src/linux/.tmp_versions should be /usr/src/linux/.tmp_version (note the / before usr) is that a typo or is that what it said?

Sorry, that was a typo. This installation is taking place on my laptop, and Im doing all of my communicating and research on a nearby desktop. I have to type in all error codes manually, so that was just my error. There was a "/"

Well, I did some research and someone said that you can just mkdir the file that it complained about. I tried that, and "make all" worked. Now Im going to try make install.

EDIT: Make install was successful. Im ready to move on.

I'm assuming your SSID is home from the previous messages do this:

cp /etc/wlan/wlancfg-DEFAULT /etc/wlan/wlancfg-home
vi /etc/wlan/wlan.config
(change the SSID_wlan0 line to: SSID_wlan0="home")


dose a /etc/pcmcia/network.opts exist?

Nvm you should make: /etc/pcmcia/network.opts

look something like this (you are useing dhcp not static IPs right?)

# Network adapter configuration
#
# The address format is "scheme,socket,instance,hwaddr".
#
# Note: the "network address" here is NOT the same as the IP address.
# See the Networking HOWTO. In short, the network address is the IP
# address masked by the netmask.
#
case "$ADDRESS" in
*,*,*,*)

# Transceiver selection, for some cards -- see 'man ifport'
IF_PORT=""
# Use BOOTP (via /sbin/bootpc, or /sbin/pump)? [y/n]

# nameservers already defined in /etc/resolv.conf. These nameservers
# will be added to /etc/resolv.conf automatically when the PCMCIA
# network connection is established and removed from this file when
# the connection is broken.
DNS_1=""
DNS_2=""
DNS_3=""
# NFS mounts, should be listed in /etc/fstab
MOUNTS=""
# If you need to override the interface's MTU...
MTU=""
# For IPX interfaces, the frame type and network number

# Run ipmasq? [y/n] (see the Debian ipmasq package)
