Orinoco FW version

[Joseph R. Skoler]

I'm trying, but I'm stuck -- any help with the following would be great.

I ran:

make install

make modules_install

but I get the following:

make install

<snip>

sh -x ./install.sh 2.4.18 bzImage /usr/src/linux-2.4.18/linux/System.map ""

+ '[' -x /root/bin/installkernel ']'

+ '[' -x /sbin/installkernel ']'

+ exec /sbin/installkernel 2.4.18 bzImage

/usr/src/linux-2.4.18/linux/System.map ''

/etc/lilo.conf: No such file or directory

make[1]: *** [install] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18/linux/arch/i386/boot'

make: *** [install] Error 2



make modules_install

<snip>

make -C net modules_install

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18/linux/drivers/net'

mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/net/

cp dummy.o /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/net/

cp: cannot stat `dummy.o': No such file or directory

make[2]: *** [_modinst__] Error 1

make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18/linux/drivers/net'

make[1]: *** [_modinst_net] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18/linux/drivers'

make: *** [_modinst_drivers] Error 2

Thanks,

The basic steps you must follow to recompile the kernel are:

 - download 2.4.18 kernel from www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/
(you have to download the .tar.gz file)

- extract the kernel. (you probably have a link called linux to the old
kernel folder,
you must remove it and create a new one which points to the 2.4.18 kernel
folder)

- Recompile the kernel and when you do
        - make xconfig
 If you want to use the pcmcia-cs package you must disable the
 PCMCIA / CardBus support on General Setup menu and activate
 the Wireless LAN (non-hamradio) option on Network device support
 menu)

- Now you can download and install the pcmcia-cs package that you want.
I think that 3.1.33 is good
