Cant compile ndiswrapper, kernel source error

[Droogie]

Hey, i just did a fresh netinstall of debian and was trying to configure my wireless adapter.

When i tried to compile ndiswrapper i'm getting this error..

droogie@debian:~/ndiswrapper-1.52$ make
make -C driver
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/droogie/ndiswrapper-1.52/driver'
Makefile:35: *** Cannot find kernel version in /lib/modules/2.6.18-6-486/build, is it configured?.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/droogie/ndiswrapper-1.52/driver'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Could someone show me how to make this compile, thanks!

You need to install the kernel source that matches the version of the kernel you are running. According to the output you posted, you are running kernel 2.6.18-6, so you need to install linux-source-2.6.18.

Thanks for the response daark.child,

Dapper_Dan actually walked me through everything and helped me install everything to compile ndiswrapper and eventually get on my wireless network
