    Trying to install a wireless networkcard.

    Hey all.

    Ive got a d-link dwl-650+ network card, and i want to run it on sarge using a 2.6 kernel. Now ive found instructions on how to do this here

    http://www.houseofcraig.net/acx100_howto.php

    how ever when i get about half way though the steps it ask me to do this

    "Next, verify the presence of the correct version of the kernel source, type: ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux/version.h those ` characters around uname -r are not single-quotes the key for them on my keyboard is the lower-case of the tilde (~) character to the left of the numeric 1 key. Successful output looks like this:"

    Now when i do that i get the unsuccessful ouput. SO i'm guessing that i dont have the kernel source install...but i ran

    apt-get install kernel-source-2.6.8

    which is the kernel that im using...but it still comes up that i dont have those directories and so forth... so what do i do?

    Thanks again...

    Simply do
    Code:
    vitaliy@insomnia ~ $ uname -r
    2.6.12-gentoo-r4
    and it will give you your kernel version.

    After you got the kernel source, have you actually compiled it? :o
