  2008/6/6 Gordon <gbplinux at gmail.com>:

    Installed WUBI 8.04 on a Toshiba Satellite L40 that uses the Realtek 8187
    WLan chip. I went to this site
    http://www.datanorth.net/~cuervo/rtl8187b/ for the driver, followed the
    instructions there but ran into a problem.
    On issuing the ./makedrv command, this happened:
    rm -fr *.mod.c *.mod *.o .*.cmd *.mod.* *.ko *.o *~
    make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/build
    M=/home/gordon/rtl8187b-modified/ieee80211 CC=gcc modules
    make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic'
    scripts/Makefile.build:46: *** CFLAGS was changed in
    "/home/gordon/rtl8187b-modified/ieee80211/Makefile". Fix it to use
    EXTRA_CFLAGS. Stop.
    make[1]: *** [_module_/home/gordon/rtl8187b-modified/ieee80211] Error 2
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic'
    make: *** [modules] Error 2
    rm -fr *.mod.c *.mod *.o .*.cmd *.ko *~
    make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/build
    M=/home/gordon/rtl8187b-modified/rtl8187 CC=gcc modules
    make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic'
    scripts/Makefile.build:46: *** CFLAGS was changed in
    "/home/gordon/rtl8187b-modified/rtl8187/Makefile". Fix it to use
    EXTRA_CFLAGS. Stop.
    make[1]: *** [_module_/home/gordon/rtl8187b-modified/rtl8187] Error 2
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic'
    make: *** [modules] Error 2

    Then when trying the ./wlan0up command I got this:
    ./wlan0up
    insmod: can't read 'ieee80211_crypt-rtl.ko': No such file or directory
    insmod: can't read 'ieee80211_crypt_wep-rtl.ko': No such file or directory
    insmod: can't read 'ieee80211_crypt_tkip-rtl.ko': No such file or directory
    insmod: can't read 'ieee80211_crypt_ccmp-rtl.ko': No such file or directory
    insmod: can't read 'ieee80211-rtl.ko': No such file or directory
    insmod: can't read 'r8187.ko': No such file or directory


    Can anyone divine from all that what has gone wrong and whether it's a
    problem caused by using WUBI instead of a proper install?

    Thanks

I tried that - it said "fatal error, can't find module"
