FraterD Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Hi all, I have a quick question. I was trying last night to install a modem driver using the "make config" as instructed by the setup documentation. Everything was going fine until i got to the point where it asked for the location of the kernel. I hit enter to accept the default location but it just errored out after that. What directory is the kernel located in for Mandrake 10.0CE? Thanks for any and all help :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 what you're refering to is the kernel-source, which goes to /usr/src/linux-<version> The kernel image itself is in /boot as vmlinuz-<version> and it's modules are in /lib/modules/<version>/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FraterD Posted March 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Okay i just looked at my directory tree and i do not have a /usr/src/linux...all i have is a /usr/src/RPM. The drivers when i try to install are looking for the /usr/src/linux but it is not there...did i forget to install something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FraterD Posted March 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 it's an rpm pkg to install, yes. As root in a terminal;urpmi kernel-source BVC, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I installed the source and so far so good. I just need to download new drivers now The ones i originally had were for version 2.5 of my card and i have version 4.0 :P One more thing. When i download the new drivers it says that there are 2 different ones, one for gcc version 2.* and another for gcc version 3.2.*. My gcc on my system is version 3.3.2...will that still compile if i download the 3.2 drivers? Thanks again :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 (edited) eewww....I d/k??? What modem? Edited March 24, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraterD Posted March 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 eewww....I d/k???What modem? It is a wireless card, Linksys WPC-11 v4.00. I followed a ling from http://linux.oldcrank.com which gives the setup instructions for this card and a link to download the drivers from. After looking at the drivers the two available files state that they are for kernel 2.4.18 (gcc 2.96) and kernel 2.4.20 (gcc 3.2.2). I know the 10.0CE runs off of a different kernel version so i don't know if these would work or not. The only drivers that linksys.com has on their site is for the earlier versions of my card. The v4.0 drivers they have are for windows Thanks for your help and patience BVC, i really appreciate it :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
