I didnt get to the install driver step. I cant even make the driver. This error occurred when I typed the make command after unzipping the driver package contents. Also when I run lshw -C network It doesnt list the wireless card. I am thinking it is not even recognizing the wireless card.<div> </div><div>Regards,</div><div>Deepak Gupta. <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 1:52 AM, Tapas Mishra <<a href="mailto:mightydreams@gmail.com">mightydreams@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div class="im">On Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 10:01 AM, Deepak Gupta <<a href="mailto:toyesa@gmail.com">toyesa@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > I tried installing these drivers. Get this error </div>What exactly were the commands and which driver did you tried installing. Have you ever tried installing a wifi by this way previously. You need to have kernel sources also in path (if I am not mistaken) sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` and then download the driver of yours in /usr/src and then compile from there. Did you tried like this or some thing else? <div><div></div><div class="h5">> > 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.
