Installing a CNet USB-adapter
This is a discussion about Installing a CNet USB-adapter in the Linux Hardware category; I am trying to install my CNUSB-611 so I can add my Linux-computer to my WLAN. The distro is Mandrake 9. 1. I am following manual. The first problem I got was B. 1. I doesn`t have the /usr/src/linux directory.
I am trying to install my CNUSB-611 so I can add my Linux-computer to my WLAN. The distro is Mandrake 9.1.
I am following this manual.
The first problem I got was B.1. I doesn`t have the /usr/src/linux directory. Anyone know what to do?
And what am I supposed to do at E (I`m a newbie)?
I have read about something about a program called autonet, am I supposed to use it?
Here`s a picture of the USB-adapter, if it helps (don`t think so ;( )
Sorry for my bad english.

The lack of a /usr/src/linux directory is easy: You don't have the kernel-source package for your distro installed. Correcting that varies from distribution to distribution and I don't know the corrrect for procedure for mdk because I don't use it but there has to be another 'draker around here who can help you out.
However, I think mdk9.1 already comes with support for WLANs (at least the kernel level support mentioned in step B of that file) so you can skip that part and move on to C. It's still a good idea to have the kernel source installed as lots of things require it to compile properly.
