Installing ieee80211 subsystem [solved]


Recommended Posts

I am trying to install the ieee80211 subsystem components but when I execute the make command, I am getting this error:

 

Checking in /lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv for ieee80211 components...

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/build M=/ieee80211-1.2.17 modules

make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/build'

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.

make[1]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/build'

make: *** [modules] Error 2

 

Can anyone help me on this.

theres no need to install this, this is included.

 

why do you need to install it?

 

Because I'm trying to install the driver for my wireless device (Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG). Although ieee80211 subsystem is already installed, it cannot be found.

I have already set up my wireless device using urpmi. No need of the ieee80211 subsystem. Thanks for all the help.

Congrats! I'm glad you have it working! :thumbs:

 

Sorry if I seemed a bit pushy, but you were trying to make it more difficult then it was. :D
