I am confused.
I did a ubuntu-server install using
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/dapper-install-i386.iso
I want to compile a module (the current acx wifi driver from
http://acx100.sourceforge.net)
I am not 100% sure what kernel header package to get. I am also not sure what
kernel package was installed:
juser at tsp2:~$ uname -a
Linux tsp2 2.6.15-21-386 #1 PREEMPT Fri Apr 21 16:43:33 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
I found http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/base/linux-server
which didn't seem to be installed, so I installed it and
http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/devel/linux-headers-server
Given this:
root at tsp2:~# grep CONFIG_M686 /boot/config-2.6.15-22-server
CONFIG_M686=y
I am wondering why the package name doesn't have a 686 in it like
http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/base/linux-image-686
So... What kernel does the ubuntu-server-i386 CD install, what headers should I
be using, and should the package names be adjusted so that no one else has to
struggle with this?
