hi all
i want to install ipw3945 driver http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ and ieee80211 is prerequired http://ieee80211.sf.net/
i read INSTALL file for ieee , its said that i have to install kerner source packeges
The installation requires the compiled kernel sources or headers
against the matching kernel. These are typically found in:
/lib/modules/\`uname -r\`/build
If that directory does not exist, or is empty, you likely need to
install the kernel source packages for your distribution. Once you have
the kernel sources, you can make and install the ieee80211 subsystem
via:
after researching how to install kernel sources
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f9.html#kernelsrc
i downloaded kernel source using yum
BUT when i tried to install it
[root@localhost Download]# rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.25.9-76.fc9.src.rpm
kernel-2.6.25.9-76.fc9.src.rpm: not an rpm package (or package manifest):
what to do guys ?!
and one more thing , my kernel is 2.6.25.3-18 , is it the reason ?
is it big different between 2.6.25.9-76 & 2.6.25.3-18
note : i added the steps just in case someone need them or stuck in a step like me
fedora 9
