Recompiling kernel under Mandrake 7.2?

I have an acer ALN-101 ethernet card and it's not supported by default under Mandrake. I went to the acer website and in order to install it you have to recompile the kernel to load ne2000/ne1000 support ( I know, I know, get a decent ethernet card😱). When I try the commands 'make menuconfig' or 'make xconfig' in the /usr/src/linux folder I get the error "make: *** No rule to make target 'menuconfig'. Stop" When I list the files in that folder all I see is at HOWTO file and a nother folder 'included' so i'm assuming that the kernel source is not present. Is this my problem, and if so where do I get the kernel source for Mandrake 7.2? It's a pain not having internet support under linux 😉

 
Mandrake uses the rpm system for the packages, so open the rpm manager and search for the kernel source rpm. It should be there on the installation CD. Otherwise you could get the latest kernel 2.4.0-test1 at kernel.org, just download and see the installtion guidelines.
There should be a Kernel-howto at
linuxdoc Read it..
