at76c503a will not compile in FC4

[panama]

I recenlty upgraded from fc3 to fc4. I had no problem compiling at76c503a in FC3. When I tried to recompile in FC4 after the upgrade after I re-downloaded the at76c503a get the following message.
[root@destiny at76c503a># make

Do you have the kernel-devel rpm installed?

rpm -qa | grep kernel should return, among other things, kernel-devel. Viz:

[bill@LAPTOP ~]$ rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4
kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4

If you do not have it, yum it up and retry make.

[panama]

This is what I have
[root@destiny at76c503a># rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4-2.1.22-0.rr.6.0
kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4

[panama]

I installed kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 and it worked by issuing the following command as root.
yum install kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4

[chili555]

And did you rerun make? What was the result?

[panama]

I am still having the same problem. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

[panama]

Anyone have any ideas why I cannot compile in kernel-devel-2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 ???

[panama]

If anyone has any ideas please respond to the post

[Twey]

That's not the same problem at all. Try using gcc32 instead.

[panama]

Twey how do I use gcc32 to complile. What I did before I would issue the following command make; then make install

[panama]

Hey Guys please help me out with this problem?

[Sam Weldon]

This is due to 1. Me and you are using FC 4 64 bit version.. this firmware is built for 386 or 32 bit version.

[panama]

I am not using FC4 64bit version.

[Sam Weldon]

OK, lets start again fresh......

Make sure you have the firmware installed to /lib/firmware
location by entering;

ls /lib/firmware

Sample expected results;
$ ls /lib/firmware
atmel_at76c502_3com.bin atmel_at76c504_2958-wpa.bin
atmel_at76c502_3com-wpa.bin atmel_at76c504a_2958-wpa.bin
atmel_at76c502.bin atmel_at76c504.bin

atmel_at76c502e-wpa.bin atmel_at76c505-rfmd.bin
atmel_at76c502-wpa.bin atmel_at76c506.bin
atmel_at76c503-i3861.bin atmel_at76c506-wpa.bin
atmel_at76c503-i3863.bin BCM2033-FW.bin
atmel_at76c503-rfmd-0.90.2-140.bin BCM2033-MD.hex
atmel_at76c503-rfmd-acc.bin BCM-LEGAL.txt
atmel_at76c503-rfmd.bin isl3890


If not then install the atmel-firmware-1.3-1fc3.noarch.rpm from;

http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/atmel/

Insure the amtel drivers are available and installed in
/lib/modules/<kernel-version-number>/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
by entering;

ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/atm*

note: that is the ` key [by the number 1 and 'Esc' keys]
not the ' key [by the 'Enter' key] in the command above

Sample expected results;
$ ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/atm*
/lib/modules/2.6.14.4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/atmel.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.14.4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/atmel_cs.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.14.4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/atmel_pci.ko


Since you state that you have no /var/log/messages file it would
be a good idea to re-boot your system at this point. You should have
the /var/log/messages file after rebooting, please check by entering;

ls -l /var/log/messages

Sample example results;
$ ls -l /var/log/messages
-rw------- 1 root root 27208 Dec 15 09:01 /var/log/messages


If you have the /var/log/messages file the next step is to insert
the belkin f5d6050 into a usb port then 'test load' the amtel driver
by entering;

/sbin/modprobe -v -n atmel

You should (hopefully) get back something like;

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.14.4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/amtel.ko

If not then review your /var/log/messages file to make sure your
usb drivers and usb device(s) are being loaded and reconized.

If you get back good results then really load the driver by entering;

/sbin/modprobe -v amtel

If this works without an error then see if the interface is available
by entering;

/sbin/iwconfig

If this tool is not available then most likely the wireless-tools package
is not installed. If it is installed then lets try and find an access point
(AP) by entering;

/sbin/iwlist wlan0 scan

If you get something back about your AP and not your system then try entering;

/sbin/dhclient wlan0

If you receive an error message something like;

ifup wlan0
ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0

then you will need to add your own IP manually by simply entering;

/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 <your IP>
/sbin/route add default gw <router IP>

This should allow you onto the internet for this session only.

If everything went well and you now have a wireless connection use the
system-config-network tool to make this configuration part of your
system configuration. If something did not go well provide the details
of where it went wrong and any error messages you saw and the relvent
information from /var/log/messages. this was qouted from linuxquestion via member LENARD

[MasterC]

That's not cool.

You could have just as easily typed your own words or linked to the post you got that data from. AFAIK it's not illegal, just uncool... Give credit where credit is due.

[Lenard]

The firmware being 32-bit is not important, I also do not believe that the gcc version matters the much either. I do know that building a vanilla kerenl from kernel.org is a good idea. The current released version is 2.6.14.4 and the atmel drivers build cleanly on my AMD64 laptop;

$ rpm -qa 'gcc*'
gcc-4.0.2-6
gcc-c++-4.0.2-6
gcc-java-4.0.2-6

$ uname -a
Linux Aspire5000 2.6.14.4dsdt #2 Fri Dec 16 13:08:32 EST 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ cat /etc/redhat-release

hey where did ther aoute tags go to ?
That above was from lenard in the linuxquestions.org forum.. Odd though I posted this as a qoute..
Sorry Lenard

I didnt mean for this to look as if I was trying to takew someone else work.. Sorry once again to LENARD..

[Lenard]

Just found this out myself earlier today, maybe this is the problem in reality;

I just recently compiled the at76c503a driver.
I followed this guide about the kernel (I ignored the nvidia stuff at the bottom). http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-kernel-fc4.html?PHPSESSID=6460c3ea095cc33052282a5a9323fe4 a

After I followed this guide, the source compiled perfectly and Im connected to the internet :)
I reckomend you have a look and follow it...Im sure it will help you as it did me.

[softcraft]

The following patch fixes building with linux kernel >= 2.6.14 and changes the MODULES_DIR installation directory directly under /lib/modules/`uname -r`/wireless/ so that subsequent kernel source 'make modules_install' do not remove the at76c503a modules as they presently do under
.../kernel/net/wireless/

I am still trying to get the thing to work after a kernel upgrade!! Have google'd my fingers off to no avail. unfortunatly, wifi is my only way to get on the net, am glad Yum left the 1369 kernel behind so I can get onliine. I cant seem to get it to work with gcc32 either, ( not even entirely sure how to go about using gcc32). Last night I tried to get at76503a (again!) via CVS, followed the Instructions at berlios - no go. It's ironic, I live approx 1/4 mile from wifi AP and this wusb11 thingy connects with very little problams, wifi operator still thinks I have hidden a repeater somewhere! Really need to figure this out

Any help would be appreciated as searching hasn't yielded any results.
