Guys, I've been traying to install ndiswrapper as a module to no avail. First of all, let me clarify that, for some reason, I haven't been able to subscribe myself to this list, so please, be kind an reply to my address as well. :-) I must be doing something wrong, but I downloaded the ndiswrapper package off the web, but it didn't install the module. It only installed the program needed to install the INF driver. Researching further, I downloaded the ndiswrapper-source and apparently it includes the module, but I need to compile it. Here is where I have problems. The make all tells me: You don't seem to have source for your kernel; install them in /usr/src, link /lib/modules/2.4.25-1-386/build to it and try again. Well, I have the source and have link to it, but still doesn't compile. Looking at the makefile it seems to me that it is looking for a file called $(KSRC)/include/linux/versions.h Well, in fact that file is not under my /usr/src/kernet-source-2-4.25 tree. Could you please give me a hand on this? I want to set up my wireless card. I am new to this but I have been researching this issue for a week already. Thanks in advance. -Marvin |

Once you've created the symlink you likely need to do something like: cp /boot/config-maj.min.rev /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.25/.config cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.25 make oldconfig [possibly] make dep (Substitute the above paths with your correct paths if they're different.) That should regenerate your versions.h. > Could you please give me a hand on this? > > I want to set up my wireless card.
