Madwifi - Only kernel versions 2.4.x are supported.
I have seen this problem posted before, but I have never seen an answer.
I have searched a few different Linux forums and exhaustively Googled the problem, but again, I have only seen a solution.
I am hoping someone who has experienced this problem was able to solve it and can pass their wisdom on to me!
Here are my specs:
Suse 10
Kernel 2.6.13-15
Gcc Version 4.0.2 20050901
Wireless Extention Support installed
Sharutils 4.5-2
Crypto API Support present
PCMCIA attempting to install: Atheros Netgear WG511T SuperG 108 Mbps 802.11g
Dell Inspiron 4100 Laptop
What I have been trying to do for the past 6 days is install Madwifi for my PCMCIA.
I get stuck after the "make" command.
I receive the error:
Checking if all requirements are met... FAILED
Only kernel versions 2.4.x and above are supported.
You have .
make: *** [configcheck] Error 1
I don't get it.
As stated above, I have kernel version 2.6.13.15.
When I type in make info, these are my results:
madwifi # make info
The following settings will be used for compilation:
TARGET : i386-elf
OS : linux
BUS : PCI
KERNELRELEASE:
KERNELPATH : /usr/src/linux-2.6.13-15-obj/i386/default
KERNELSRC : /usr/src/linux-2.6.13-15-obj/i386/default
KERNELCONF : /usr/src/linux-2.6.13-15-obj/i386/default/.config
MODULEPATH : /lib/modules//net
KMODSUF : o
WIRELESSEXT : 18
Due to this error, I then tried (upon advise):
make KERNELPATH: /usr/src/linux-2.6.13-15-obj/i386/default
This produced the error:
linux:/home/myusername/dls/madwifi # make KERNELPATH:/usr/src/linux-2.6.13-15-obj/i386/default
make: *** No rule to make target `KERNELPATH:/usr/src/linux-2.6.13-15-obj/i386/default'. Stop.
Can anyone advise a next step?

Could someone please tell me which filesystems are supported by Solaris?
I am specifically interested in ext2, ext3, and XFS.
Is XFS included in a standard Solaris distro?
Are ext2 and ext3 only supported in Read-Only using lxrun?
Thanks. (1 Reply)

Hi All,
Is there a max number of slabs that can be used per kernel module? I'm having a tough time finding out that kind of information, but the array 'node_zonelists' (mmzone.h) has a size of 5. I just want to avoid buffer overruns and other bad stuff.
Cheers,

CHEATMAKE(1) [FIXME: manual] CHEATMAKE(1) NAME
cheatmake - fool make into not rebuilding certain files SYNOPSIS
cheatmake [hidechangefile] [show] [whyfile] DESCRIPTION
cheatmake is used to save time when recompiling. It can fool make into skipping files that haven't changed in a meaningful way. This can be used for instance when you change a comment in a file but none of the actual code. This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit. OPTIONS
hidechange file Hides the fact that file was changed by setting the timestamp into the past. Use with care! show Lists what files make currently needs to rebuild why file Explains why make must rebuild file ENVIRONMENT
One of the following variables (but not both) should be set if the source directory is different from the build directory. If the build directory is simply a subdirectory of the source directory, the simpler variable OBJ_SUBDIR should be used. OBJ_SUBJDIR Indicates that the build directory is in the given subdirectory of the source directory. For instance, if the source directory is kdesdk and the build directory is kdesdk/obj-i386-linux, then OBJ_SUBDIR should be set to obj-i386-linux. OBJ_REPLACEMENT A sed expression that is used to transform the source directory into the build directory. For instance, if the source directory is kdesdk/obj-i386-linux, then OBJ_REPLACEMENT should be set to s#kdesdk#kdesdk-obj#. SEE ALSO
