got it

[shelaby]

ok so i downloaded ndiswrapper, extracted it to the desktop, and in the terminal i switched to root, then cd'ed my way over to /home/Desktop/limone/ndiswrapper-1.4, and ran make install

this is the message i get

[root@d155h168 ndiswrapper-1.4]# make install
make: Warning: File `version' has modification time 4e+06 s in the future
make -C driver install
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/Limone/Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.4/driver'
make[1]: Warning: File `../version' has modification time 4e+06 s in the future
Can't find kernel sources in /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/build;

make[1]: *** [prereq_check] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Limone/Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.4/driver'
make: *** [install] Error 2

I am guessing there is something that i did not do correctly, or is that error message normal?

and also, how do i go about installing my broadcom BCM94306 drivers once i get ndiswrapper running.

I am a total noob when it comes to linux, just trying to set up my wireless card right now

Thanks in advance for any help 🙂

Google.

Basically you have to identify the correct path to kernel source.

i just cant seem to find where my kernel source files are located. i searched everyone of those locations listed on that page, but i cannot find them

 

[shelaby]

ok so when i open the /lib/modules/current kernel/ build file

it says this link cant be used because "/usr/src/kernels/2.6.13-1.1532_FC4-i686" doesnt exist????

why doesnt it exist? and wth happend to it

You need to install your kernal source, I don't think FC does it by default.

Look at the last post in this thread.

The answer to most problems is only a click away: CLICKY

 

[silverpig]

yum-install <package>

where package should probably be something like kernel-sources-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4-i686 or something. I don't know what the file is called...

Ok, so i downloaded kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.scr.rpm, but when i try to install in in terminal, this is what i get

# rpm -Uhv kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.scr.rpm
error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/scr/redhat/SOURCES

any ideas?

 

[shelaby]

So it looks like i dont have the rpm-build rpm installed? i tried searching for this problem, but found no help

 

[shelaby]

so i did yum install rpm-build, and i installed the kernel according to Text

but when i try to install ndiswrapper i still get this error

[root@d155h168 ndiswrapper-1.4]# make make -C driver
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/limone/ndiswrapper-1.4/driver'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/limone/ndiswrapper-1.4/driver'

any ideas?
