Man, where is the symlink "/usr/src/linux" there??? :-)

I don't know if you have searched in the mailing list archives, but there I
have found this [1]:

"Bah, another broken driver who doesn't know how to build when sources are
not in /usr/src/linux. either you fix it by grepping in the makefile to see
what shows /usr/src/linux and replace it with the stuff from kernel-build,
or you put a symlink from /usr/src/linux to the place that holds your
kernl-build stuff. If you use 2.6.8 debian packages, and this doesn't work
for you, please fill a bug report."

I think this is clear. There aren't the archives you need.
Do you have a precompiled kernel or you have builded your own kernel?


This is what you have to answer at the questions made by "make config":

Build Prism2.x PCMCIA Card Services (_cs) driver? (y/n) [y]: n
Build Prism2 PLX9052 based PCI (_plx) adapter driver? (y/n) [n]: n
Build Prism2.5 native PCI (_pci) driver? (y/n) [n]: n
Build Prism2.5 USB (_usb) driver? (y/n) [y]: y
Linux source directory [...]: /lib/modules/2.6.8/build
[2]Alternate target install root directory on host []: 
Module install directory [...]: /lib/modules/2.6.8 
[3]Prefix for build host compiler? (rarely needed) []: 
Build for debugging (see doc/config.debug) (y/n) [n]: n 

After that, if it were successfully: make all (as root)

Regards.
