thanks mods, but still need help off you guys please!

the only driver i can find is a ".exe" file, not ".inf"

and then:

[root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.0]# make install

make -C driver install

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/matt/ndiswrapper-1.0/driver'

Can't find kernel sources in /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12mdk/build;

give the path to kernel sources with KSRC=<path> argument to make

make[1]: *** [prereq_check] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/matt/ndiswrapper-1.0/driver'

make: *** [install] Error 2

i get the above after the make install command!

thanks

first problem... after doing, /sbin/cardctl ident

i get:

Socket 0:

no product info available

Socket 1:

no product info available

Any ideas?!?!

Thanks :)

wow! thanks for teh very thorough advice, ill give it a try and post my findings!

thanks again Steve. :)

cymru, I think the link Ohms posted will help greatly. It gives very detailed instructions on how to get linux to detect and use your card properly. Take a look through that thread and see if that helps.

whats a console though? sorry if sounds stupid but im totally new to Linux at the moment.

Have you checked out this thread and the links in it?

http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=5494

 

If so, what specific problems are you having or clarification do you need?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

basically how to get linux to detect the card and how to install it!

Hi, ive just installed mandrake 10.1 on my laptop. everything appears to work fine except it hasn't picked up the PCMCIA wireless card, its a 3COM 3CRPAG175 and works perfect under windoze.

Bear in mind ive only used linux about twice and haven't got a clue about anything with it really, so if you have an answer please put it simply.

thanks for any help offered!

Matt

One day ill understand mandrake...
