I am trying to do a "make all" for my "linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre26" [for Linksys wireless USB network adapter] to build the modules and programs, but it gives me this:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
set -e; for d in src doc man etc; do make -C $d ; done
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ryan/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre26/src'

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/ryan/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre26/src/mkmeta'

if test ! -e /home/ryan/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre26/src/p80211/Module.symvers ; then \
cp /usr/src/linux/Module.symvers /home/ryan/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre26/src/p80211/../ ; \
fi
cp: cannot stat `/usr/src/linux/Module.symvers': No such file or directory

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So it is saying that "Modules.symvers" is missing from /usr/src/linux.
I tried looking for that file in /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12mdk/build but it isn't there either.

I think I might have accidentally deleted it when I did "make mrproper" in /usr/src/linux.

Anyone know how I can create that file, or what I should do?

Thanks,
netburn

Can anyone help me? Googling this problem hasn't come up with anything promising. :help:

I've got exactly the same problem. I tried to "make all" on linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre26 to get my D-Link DWL-122 working under Mandrake 10.1 (3CDs).

I cant find Modules.symvers anywhere...

Install the kernel-source. (urpmi kernel-source, read the faqs for urpmi). If it is installed already make sure the kernel (uname -r) and kernel-source (/usr/src/) are exactly the same. (the /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12mdk/build directory is a link to /usr/src/linux.)

Good luck.

Of course I already installed the kernel-sources. :)
And as far as I can say, the Versions seem to fit...

my /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12mdk/build is a link to /usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-12mdk/, just like /usr/src/linux, wich is also a link to /usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-12mdk/

Google suggest it is a bug. Are you running a custom kernel and did you give the command 'make mrproper' in the /usr/src/linux directory?

Solution: remove the kernel-source and install it again. And don't run 'make mrproper' (if you did so)

Hey guys, thanks for the replies,

I finally found how to make Module.symvers!

Here is what I did:

-Uninstalled the kernel-source package
-Installed the kernel-source package again (looked for Module.symvers, still missing!)
-Went hunting on the web again, found this: http://www.linuxques...2399#post962399
-Followed steps 4 -> 6:
4 - [In /usr/src/linux] compile the kernel (make/make modules_install/make bzImage/make install) and take a break (make can last a couple hours, especially if you're using you computer while it's compiling)
5 - reboot and choose the new kernel in GRUB (should be linux<version>custom)
6 - and now you're ready for the install of the driver.
-Did a "locate -u"
-The "locate Module.symvers" command gives me this: 
[ryan@localhost ryan]$ locate Module.symvers
/home/ryan/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre26/src/Module.symvers
/usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-12mdk/Module.symvers

AHA!!
-Did a "make all" and "make install" in my /linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre26 dir
-Success!!

So I'm guessing that the "Module.symvers" file must have been created when I did the "make" or "make modules_install" command. I don't think you have to go as far as "make bzImage" and "make install", but I did anyway. [Forgot to check for file while going through steps]

Now I am onto my next problem, which will have me delve deep into google and the wlan-ng site again.... *sigh* :wall: [Command fails when I do "wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable", arg!]

I never used 'make mrproper' bevore.
I didnt compiled my kernel my self. My Kernel-Sources and everything else installed on the PC are from the CD 'out of the box'...

...anyway: I tried removing an reinstalling the sources. no change. Still "Modules.symvers" missing...

Can you eMail me your Module.symvers? We seem to use the same System... so maybe I dont have to compile for hours?!

Thanks to netburn, who sends me his Modules.symvers, 'make all' is working fine now.

after some 'make clean', 'make config', 'make all'(had to do it three times befor it works...?!), now also my 'make install' exits without errors! :)

now lets see how to continue...

cu soon ;)

according to http://64.233.183.10...&hl=de&ie=UTF-8 I finished my setup.

/etc/init.d/wlan restart works
ifconfig now shows the wlan-adapter

wlan0 still got no ip4-Adress. OK. Now I have to go to my universitiy after I installed their special vpn-client... I guess their dhcpd will give me an IP...

THX for help to devries an netburn! :)

For anyone else that would like the Module.symvers file, I have it attached to this post.

(Due to attachment constraints, I had to rename the extention to .txt, so just rename it to Module.symvers when it is downloaded.)

Have fun!

For what its worth, Module.symvers is created for you when you compile wlan_ng. You just need to copy it to /lib/modules/xxxxx/build. Its located in /linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre26/src.
