| I have been trying to compile my driver for my wireless adapter. Supposedly
I need the kernel source matching my kernel which I have already installed.
Now, there must be a symbolic link "linux" from /usr/src to the kernel
source in the same directory, and another from /lib/modules/"uname -r" also
to the kernel source (I am translating the little I know from Mandrake).
Well, the drivers refuse to compile with this state of affairs. In a list I
was told to install the package "module-assistant" and then run "m-a
prepare". When I run this last command I get the warning that I have a
nonconfigured kernel source. Apparently this installs kernel headers,
whatever that is.
My question is what to do. How do I configure the kernel source or I just
ignore the warning. At first I aborted and still I was installed without
prompting the package "build essential". I tried again and still I keep
getting the nonconfigured kernel source warning. I will appreciate to be
told what to do.
Teilhard.
