Guest mr805newbie Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 I am reading the manual to my wirless adapter "Trendnet TEW-224UB USB 802.11b " and I says to go to my " CONFIG_NET_RADIO in the kernel. in /usr/src/linux but I don't have this directory in my system. The only "Linux" folder I can find is in the #/usr/src/include/linux# directory. I am using Mandrake 8.1. Can someone explain to me what is going on here? Thanks for taking the time to read. P.S. The manual is attatched for those that want to check it out TEW224UB__Linux_instruction.doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 hmm.. i am not completely sure, but i think they refer to the linux-kernel, which must be installed for compiling first (i do wonder if it is really necessary to recompile the kernel). you can find the kernel sources on your cd's and you can grab them from the ftp-mirrors alternatively. but as i said, i am not 100% sure... :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Upgrade to a newer version of Mandrake, at least 9.1, preferably 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 The directories are created as part of installing the kernel sources. Install them for your running kernel, and you'll be all set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 (edited) Upgrade to a newer version of Mandrake, at least 9.1, preferably 10 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> :o pretty drastic just to obtain a symlink :lol: as lx said, installing the kernel-source will create the 'linux' symlink [root@localhost root]# ls /usr/src/ 2.6.8-rc3-mm1 defconfig linux-2.6.7/ RPM/ 2.6.8-rc3-mm1.bz2 linux@ linux-2.6.7.tar.bz2 [root@localhost root]# ls -l /usr/src/linux lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Aug 8 04:43 /usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.7/ [root@localhost root]# file /usr/src/linux /usr/src/linux: symbolic link to `/usr/src/linux-2.6.7' [root@localhost root]# Edited August 15, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
