I'm trying to get my Intel wireless card to work in Fedora core, but nothing I do seems to take. It uses the
ipw2100 driver for Linux written by Intel.
When I download and unpack the tar file, I hop into the terminal and go to the extracted directory. When I try to run make install, here's the error message I get:
Quote:
mkdir -p /home/jack/ipw2100-1.2.2/tmp/.tmp_versions
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.19-1.2288.2.4.fc5/build M=/home/jack/ipw2100-1.2.2 MODVERDIR=/home/jack/ipw2100-1.2.2/tmp/.tmp_versions modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.19-1.2288.2.4.fc5/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [modules] Error 2

I went into that directory to see what's up. /build is there, but in the terminal it shows up as red and blinking. Is that a broken link or something?
I get a similar error when I try to install ndiswrapper the same way. (Running make install in the directory.)
I tried downloading the rpms for the driver and firmware and simply running them in the package installer. Unfortunately, when I double-click the RPM and the package installer comes up, there's nothing there.
This was all happening on a fresh install of FC5. Updating the kernel didn't fix it.
The exact same problem occurs in FC6 as well.
I'm completely stumped.
