Operating Systems Linux Debian Kernel source not found. (can't install network card drivers) Post 302150480 by Virtuality on Tuesday 11th of December 2007 04:02:16 PM

Kernel source not found. (can't install network card drivers)

I've had no luck with help on linuxquestions so I figured I'd try here. I'm using debian etch.

The problem is that I can not install my network card because it says:

Code:
Makefile:62: *** Linux kernel source not found.  Stop.

I have the kernel-headers installed.

I've looked all over the internet for similar posts and there was never a solution for such an unbelievably common problem that EVERYONE who's network card is not recognized by Debian will get.

There's a lot of similar posts, just never a solution.

Currently I'm coming to the conclusion that the file it wants doesn't actually exist. If it does can someone link me the it? Because I've gone through too much bandwidth trying 'stuff' that people think might work.

The file it says ( kernel-source-2.6.18-5-686 ) is only accessible by apt-get? because I've looked everywhere and it's obviously the one I need.

Thanks.

NAME
westcos-tool - utility for manipulating data structures on westcos smart cards SYNOPSIS
westcos-tool [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION
The westcos-tool utility is used to manipulate the westcos data structures on 2 Ko smart cards / tokens. Users can create PINs, keys and certificates stored on the card / token. User PIN authentication is performed for those operations that require it. OPTIONS
--change-pin, -n Changes a PIN stored on the card. User authentication is required for this operation. --certificate file, -t file Write certificate file file in PEM format to the card. User authentication is required for this operation. --finalize, -f Finalize the card. Once finalized the default key is invalidated, so PIN and PUK cannot be changed anymore without user authentication. Warning, un-finalized are insecure because PIN can be changed without user authentication (knowledge of default key is enough). --generate-key, -g Generate a private key on the card. The card must not have been finalized and a PIN must be installed (ie. the file for ithe PIN must havei been created, see option -i). By default the key length is 1536 bits. User authentication is required for this operation. --help, -h Print help message on screen. --install-pin, -i Install PIN file in on the card. You must provide a PIN value with -x. --key-length length, -l length Change the length of private key. Use with -g. --overwrite-key, -o Overwrite the key if there is already a key on the card. --pin-value value, -x value Set value of PIN. --puk-value value, -y value set value of PUK (or value of new PIN for change PIN command see -n). --read-file path, -j path Read the file path from the card. The file is written on disk with name path. User authentication is required for this operation. --reader num, -r num Use the given reader. The default is the first reader with a card. --unblock-pin, -u Unblocks a PIN stored on the card. Knowledge of the PIN Unblock Key (PUK) is required for this operation. -v Causes westcos-tool to be more verbose. Specify this flag several times to enable debug output in the OpenSC library. --wait, -w Wait for a card to be inserted. --write-file path, -k path Put the file with name path from disk to card. On the card the file is written in path. User authentication is required for this operation. AUTHORS
