Not able to Access Wireless Connection from Ubuntu

[Deepak Gupta]

I tried installing these drivers. Get this error

KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic'
  LD [M]  /home/toyesa/hybrid_wl/wl.o
ld: Relocatable linking with relocations from format elf64-x86-64
(/home/toyesa/hybrid_wl/lib/wlc_hybrid.o_shipped) to format elf32-i386
(/home/toyesa/hybrid_wl/wl.o) is not supported
make[2]: *** [/home/toyesa/hybrid_wl/wl.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/home/toyesa/hybrid_wl] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic'
make: *** [all] Error 2



Also I downloaded WiFi Radar and it could not detect the wireless device. I
am thinking maybe ubuntu cant detect he wireless card.

Deepak Gupta.
