Suse 9.3: Cant install Linksys EG1032- No rule to make target 'modules.'
 

Someone help me out here. I've searched and searched, and can't seem to find an answer anywhere, either on this forum, or on goole.

Just got a Linksys EG1032 (v3) Gigabyte NIC. I Specifically bought this because they provide Linux drivers. When I follow the directions to install the included drivers, this is what I get:

make: *** No rule to make target `modules.'. Stop.

Thinking that maby the period after the word 'modules' in the directions was the problem, I tried it again without it...

Basically, the same error, 'no rule to make target 'modules', only this time with more stuff before it...

I have installed every development pack that I could find, also binutils. I'm still pretty new to linux here, so I'm thinking that there is a simple, stupid mistake being made somewhere in what I'm doing. But for the life of me, I can't figure it out.

Here are the directions that come with the driver:


------------------------------------------------------------------
<Requirements>

- kernel source tree (supported versions 2.4.x or 2.6.x)
- compiler/binutils for kernel compilation



<Quick install with proper kernel settings>

Unpack the tarball :
tar vzxf eg1032v3.tgz

Change to the directory:
cd eg1032v3

If you are running the target kernel, then you should be
able to do :

make clean modules (as root or with sudo)
make install
depmod -a
-------------------------------------------------------------------




Thanks in advance for any advice anyone has.

Did you install the kernel sources?
Check with:

No, I hadn't installed kernel-source. But I just did install it right now, rebooted, and I'm still getting the same errors- any other ideas (thanks again)

command above now comes back with:

kernel-source-2.6.11.4-21.7

You need to run online update to get kernel-source-2.6.11.4-21.10 (which is your kernel binary). This happens if the kernel was updated with YOU and the sources are installed from the original medium.

After much playing with YOU to get it to work, I finally have the kernel-source updated to 2.6.11.4-21.10. However, I'm still getting errors:


Any more ideas? I really appreciate your help-

Try installing GCC package and chk it out
