LeoK Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Hi, I am fairly new to Linux but I have used it for about 4 months before. I am trying to install the rt2500USB wifi card drivers to the PC. When I do #make I get an error that /lib/modules/kernel-2.6.../build cannot be found. So how can I get it working (I can't seem to find an rpm for the drivers :( ) Thanks in Advance Leo Kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoK Posted August 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 /lib/modules/kernel-2.6.11.12mdk/build no such file or directory. stop Nope don't have the kernel sources installed, how do I install them, would it be in: Menu -> System -> Packaging -> Install Sorftware?

Ixthusdan Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 The kernal sources must match your running kernel, and will say "kernel-source-2.x.x.rpm", where the numbers match your running kernel. It creates a file structure in /usr/src/linux where items find information necessary to compile on your machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
