    Kernel headers

    Hi there,

    I'm trying to get my wlan to work using a Atheros 5007eg wlan card. On a different forum I was advised to reinstall ndiswrapper manually, so I downloaded it via vista (I'm running a dual boot). But when I do 'sudo make' I get the following:

    http://pastebin.com/m1a289732

    (I put it in pastebin because it's quite a long list of errors and warnings)

    So some guys said that I needed to install kernel headers. Now the problem is that the only way I know to install the kernel headers is via a package manager, and I don't have an Internet connection so thats impossible. My kernel version is 2.6.22.14 (generic).

    Do I have to install kernel headers to solve this problem? If yes, where do I get them? If no, how do I solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance!

    Re: Kernel headers

    assuming you have everything else that's needed...

    boot windoze.
    start your browser.
    point it here.
    download the linux-headers .deb file that goes with your current kernel to a shared directory.
    you'll have to get the right one.
    i'm on a 32bit i686 with kernel 2.6.22-14.
    the headers deb package that goes with it is: linux-headers-2.6.22-14
    if you're not sure, please post the details of your platform and current kernel.
    we can manually resolve the dependencies for you.

    boot linux.
    open a konsole.
    enter:
    Code:
    sudo dpkg -i <linux-headers-whatever>.deb
    you should now be able to compile your source.
    gnu/linux is not windoze

      Re: Kernel headers

      I looked in the /user/src file, and there were already two files called linux-headers-2.6.22-14 and linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic. Someone else told me that it could be possible that there was no symlink. So I'll see if there is one, and then report back here.

        btw, in order to compile on ubuntu system you also have to install the "build-essential" meta package.
        that includes:
        - libc6-dev | libc-dev
        - gcc (>= 4:4.1.1)
        - g++ (>= 4:4.1.1)
        - make
        - dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.5)
