Beginning on November 4, 2019, I will NO LONGER support people that have downloaded the source
|
|
|
|
|
as a zip file. Using git has much more flexibility. In addition, there is much less liklihood
|
|
|
|
|
that a user will contact me with a problem that is ALREADY fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your system says that /lib/modules/...../build does not exist, you have not
|
|
|
|
|
installed the kernel headers, you have done it incorrectly, or you are not running
|
|
|
|
|
the kernel for which the headers have been installed. The necessary steps are
|
|
|
|
|
dependent on which distro you are using. Creating a new issue and asking at
|
|
|
|
|
GitHub will not be productive.

|
|
Your kernel configuration MUST have CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT set.

|
|
If a build fails that previously worked, perform a 'git pull' and retry before
|
|
|
|
|
reporting a problem. As noted, if you had downloaded the source in zip form, then you would
|
|
|
|
|
need to get an entirely new source file. That is why using git, which downloads only the changed
|
|
|
|
|
lines, is required.

To compile the driver, you need to have make and a compiler installed. In addition,
|
|
|
|
|
you must have the kernel headers installed. If you do not understand what this means,
|
|
|
|
|
consult your distro.
