Wireless with Satellite L40

[Ahmed Abdelsalam]

hi,...

I have Toshiba Satellite L40-17R laptop with RealTek 8187b wireless card. I
use ubuntu 8.04, which doesn't recognize the card. I tired to download
rtl-wifi source to compile it, but it fails, giving me an error in the
compilation saying:

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/build M= modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic'
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/linux/utsrelease.h
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.c', needed
by `arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.s'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [prepare0] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic'
make: *** [modules] Error 2

I looked on internet, but I found it's a common problem in the 8.04. I even
tried to re-compile linux kernel, but it gave me errors when using 'sudo
make menuconfig' command.

So, what's the solution for that?

Regards,...

Ahmed
