Linksys Wireless USB Support

[Antipex]

I have a Linksys WUSB11 Version 2.5 Wireless USB Adapter and Fedora Core 2. I tried installing the linux-wlan-ng drivers but during 'make config' I pointed it to the correct kernel source dir, and it says the following:

[root@blue linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre21]# make config

-------------- Linux WLAN Configuration Script -------------

The default responses are correct for most users.

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) [n]: y

Linux source directory [/usr/src/linux]: /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358
Linux source tree /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358 is incomplete or missing!
The kernel header files are present, but not the full source code.
See the HOWTO for a list of FTP sites for current kernel sources.

Configuration failed

make: *** [config] Error 1



I need to get this thing working...anyone know??

Thanks :)

try this site you may find a driver here: www.linuxant.org

Unfortunately that's only for CardBus and PCI devices...Mine is USB...

OK...I made some symbolic links and stuff and finally got it to configure properly...but now I get the following when I try to build it with 'make all'

try using a different version of wlan-ng
CVS perhaps, it appears that the Makefile is broken...

[Antipex]

Actually, it was Fedora at fault! So I installed Gentoo and have a much nicer, smoother system without so many damn problems. :-/ I've used RedHat since version 4.2, and continued with Fedora Cores 1 and 2, but it's finally gotten bloated and crappy enough that it's time to move onto something else.

Every system has its flaws. There is no such thing as a perfect distro. One should learn to garner some patience and perserverance. Help is always at bay. It would be unwise to blame the fault on the distro.

Take and spend some time to know about your distro. Don't give up on it just because you encounter a problem and move onto something else. If everyone thought and behaved as yourself. no one would use Fecora Core or GNU/Linux for that matter. Every distro has its own learning curves.

I believe imdeemvp and Picomp314 were honestly trying to help you as well. I appreciate their efforts. i just felt I had to say this even thought the last post was almost 2 months ago.

Just my two cents. Have a good day. :)

I'm having a problem with this too. I know I installed the source rpm, but it doesn't appear that this thing knows where to look and neither do I. I had a different default, which I tried. I also tried /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358 and I got the same result as above. Where is the correct location?
I'm trying linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre22.

I am not interested in USB support for a netgear wg111 adapter, as I find that there are no drivers.

A wireless card is what I would like to purchase, along with the software installer for fedora core4, if wireless support is not built-in.

Please someone (A linux big brother), recommend a card and the software to go along with it. Until you do, I am off the air with Linux. (My linux system is currently stand alone)
