Installing a CNet USB-adapter

Recommended Posts

I am trying to install my CNUSB-611 so I can add my Linux-computer to my WLAN. The distro is Mandrake 9.1.

I am following this manual.

 

The first problem I got was B.1. I doesn`t have the /usr/src/linux directory. Anyone know what to do?

And what am I supposed to do at E (I`m a newbie)?

 

I have read about something about a program called autonet, am I supposed to use it?

 

Here`s a picture of the USB-adapter, if it helps (don`t think so ;( )

Sorry for my bad english.

The lack of a /usr/src/linux directory is easy: You don't have the kernel-source package for your distro installed. Correcting that varies from distribution to distribution and I don't know the corrrect for procedure for mdk because I don't use it but there has to be another 'draker around here who can help you out.

 

However, I think mdk9.1 already comes with support for WLANs (at least the kernel level support mentioned in step B of that file) so you can skip that part and move on to C. It's still a good idea to have the kernel source installed as lots of things require it to compile properly.

ok the package u need to install is kernel-2.4.21.0.13mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm.

 

you can install it using the package manager or using the console.

 

Place the Mandrake installation cd marked DISK 1 in the cdrom.

now type the following... As root.

Code:
cd /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS && rpm -Uvh kernel-2.4.21.0.13mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm

 

Cant help u with much else cos I dont use Mandrake anymore nor do I have any wireless thingies.
