Can't get D-Link DWA-542 to work


Recommended Posts

It seems like everything I try to get this card working results in yet another piece of helpful software that I'm too inexperienced to setup or understand :(.

I'm trying to get the D-Link DWA-542 to work on my ClarkConnect 4.2 Community box. ClarkConnect (in my understanding) is essentially RedHat sans a GUI.

First thing I tried to do was get NDISwrapper 1.52 to work. Initially "make install" threw an error saying "Makefile:24: *** Kernel tree not found - please set KBUILD to configured kernel. Stop." After some tooling around, and reading some articles, I was able to get past this by setting up a copy of /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.14.3.cc/ in /usr/src/2.6.18-8.1.14.3.cc/ along with some other steps I can't really remember now... :huh:

Now, it throws "Makefile:35: *** Cannot find kernel version in /usr/src/2.6.18-8.1.14.3.cc, is it configured?. Stop.". Upon reading more articles, it was suggested I install Yum and run "yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers". However Yum now throws the following error (after I installed it):

There was a problem importing one of the Python modules

required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

No module named yum

Please install a package which provides this module, or

verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the

current version of Python, which is:

2.3.4 (#1, Dec 11 2007, 05:27:57)

[GCC 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-9)]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to

the yum faq at:

http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq

In case it's not apparent from my ramblings here, I'm very, very, inexperienced with the Linux environment. I would appreciate any and all input that you could offer. I'm eager to learn. :)

Alright, well since I posted with some help from the guys over at clarkconnect forums, I've managed to get the following loaded in:

kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14.3.cc

kernel-sourcecode-2.6.18-8.1.14.3.cc

kernel-devel-2.6.18-8.1.14.3.cc

However, I still getting the error:

make -C driver

make[1]: Entering directory `/root/ndiswrapper-1.52/driver'

Makefile:35: *** Cannot find kernel version in /usr/src/linux-2.6.18-8.1.14.3.cc, is it configured?. Stop.

make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/ndiswrapper-1.52/driver'

make: *** [all] Error 2

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
