Now for the fun part! You need to install the modules into the kernels module tree. It should churn for a bit then dump you back to the prompt, provding there where no errors all should be well. c files all over the shop! Change to the source directory and run. At least if the files are packed without a directory you wont cock up your home directory with a bunch of. Unpack the source, I always put a source package into its own directory before doing tar zvf *.gz. Module-assistant prepare (it downloads and installs some packages)Īs with yum apt-get should sort out any dependecies, if you have bother remember apt-cache search whateverismissing then apt-get install whateverismissing!

Ive got the driver working on Debian Sarge, again its pretty simple getting the toolchain installed.Īpt-get install build-essential module-assistant linux-source Yum should sort out all the dependencies for you, if not when you try to build the driver it will complain and tell you what missing so just yum -y whateverismissing! Yum -y install binutils make gcc kernel-devel glibc-headers (why they decided to change that package name from kernel-headers to glibc-headers I will NEVER know!) Getting the toolchain installed is pretty simple. I have had this driver work on all those versions. If you are running LFS you can jump straight to building, you already have a tool chain installed! You should also have you kernel source to hand too, we are building modules so we'll need it! Patience, tea, coffee or what ever flicks your switch! You must have the following installed on your system, the list is generic and applies to all os's:Ī toolchain (make, binutils, gcc, kernel headers and the like, more later.)!Ĭommand line know how (if you have never complied apps from scratch dont try this!) I cant remember for the life of me where i got it from either so i have left it intact as i downloaded it aside from taking out the wpa_suplicant.zip file. I did not make this module or the scripts that come with it. Not a WPA job although with a bit of patience it could be done! Version) os's so here we go! Ah, yes, this driver is the standard WEP driver I found the one this page provides and it works on 3 (well 5 if you count

I have tried aboutġ0 different drivers some wouldnt compile, some would but didnt work.

More down to the driver download you get than your system.
