Can't find kernel build files in /lib/modules/2.6.17-14mdv/build;
give the path to kernel build directory with
KBUILD=<path> argument to make

On the surface of it you look for the 'kernel build directory' using your skill and judgement. Perhaps:
$ locate 2.6.17-14mdv/build
or locate build or whatever.

Then tell make the path with:
$ make KBUILD=/blah/blah/blah/blah/?build/

Hope helps.

From browsing other forums it appears to me that you are still botting with old Kernals, do you use dual boot or anything, if so hen selct the one with the new Kernals installed.
If this doesn't help then please remeber, google is your best friend.

hi all,
I was wondering that did anybody know whether Ndiswrapper 1.47 supports the belkin PCI card chipset RT61.
I've gone thorugh the ndiswrapper website and goggle .. they all say that other chipset might work..
Although I've installed the ndiswrapper and the windows driver for blekin RT61 successfully .. it doesn't seem to work.

Reply much appreciated...

I installed the drivers for mine too, and even the ones that where supported didn't seem to work. The only way i could get internet connection was through a wire.
