Kernel Source [solved]

[murphman9]

hey, i need help installing the kernel source, or finding it. I've been trying for the past few days to install madwifi for my wl-8310 wireless card but i haven't been able to since the kernel source isn't there.

 

I read some other articles and people said to type

 

urpmi kernel-source

 

i did that and it says "no package named kernel-source"

someone else said to install it from mandrake control center

i searched for the kernel and was only able to find kernel-enterprize-2.3.4.27.0.pre2.1mdk-1-mdk and kernel-i586-1GB-2.6.7.1.10mdk-1-1mdk

 

how else would i do it? can i download it somewhere?

 

thanks

ok, i figured out the real command,

 

urpmi kernel-srouce-2.6.8.1.10mdk.i586.rpm

 

but when i type it in it gives me a different error insead of package not found it says error registering local packages

eh, just ignore all that, i figured out how to install 2.6.10

I was told to update the kernel but being a newbie got no idea how? Could you let me know how you did it and where to get 2.6.10

 

Thanks
