Hey guys,
I had to do a clean install of Fedora Core 5 and Im trying to compile the madwifi-ng drivers but keep getting
Code:
[root@localhost madwifi-ng]# make
/bin/sh: line 0: cd: /lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5/build: No such file or directory
Makefile.inc:95: *** /lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5/build is missing, please set KERNELPATH. Stop.
[root@localhost madwifi-ng]#
I tried a bunch of stuff and still no luck. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Brian
Hi,

first you need to install the livna repo issue the following:
Code:
rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-5.rpm
Once thats done update your repos and install mad-wifi as follows:
Code:
yum update

Hi,
Try updating all your packages:
I did that in your previous post. I remember when I got the drivers to work in FC3 my friend some how copied the kernel source to a folder and that fixed this problem, but I don't remember how. Not sure if that helps...
Well after restarting there was a new kernel in the boot list. Loaded that up and tried it. It finally compiled!!! Sorry for being a dumbass, but thanks for your help... Might need it again!
I finally got it to work! But how to I get it to load the driver each time the system boots, cause after I reboot I lose the device?
Well all is good finally... Figured out the boot problem. Thanks for your help I greatly appreciate it!!! It saves me hours of trying to figure it out!
