Re: Building zd1211 drivers fore WiFi dongle
Wouter,
Thanks this looks like just what I need. I have module-assistant up and
configured. When I enter
m-a install zd1211
It doesn't seem to find the source files.. Where do the source files need to
be ? the file
zd1211.tar.bz2 which was in /usr/src .. then
m-a install zd1211 still failed.. it gave me
Package zd1211-source was not built successfully, see
│ /var/cache/modass/zd1211-source*buildlog* for details!
but /var/cache/modass is empty
I then cd'ed int /usr/src and manually unpacked the tarball into /usr/src
and tried m-a install zd1211 again and again it failed as above
I then moved the unpacked zd1211 int /usr/src/modules/zd1211 (and then
renamed it to zd1211-source) and both gave the same response
I then cd'd into /usr/src/modules/zf1211-source and did a 'make' and got
this
/lib/modules/2.6.18-6-ixp4xx/build
/usr/src/modules/zd1211-source

Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2
I know I'm flailing here.. but it's so much fun !.. Any pointers on better
paths to becoming less of a newb here much appreciated.
Thanks
