Linuxant DriverLoader for Wireless LAN devices, version 2.29
No pre-built modules for: Debian-3.1 linux-2.4.26 i686-SMP

(this requires a C compiler and proper kernel sources to be installed)
Where is the linux source build directory that matches your running kernel?

Please examine the log file "/var/run/dldrconfig-buildlog.txt" to determine why.

dunno....
to compile you need the gcc1.dsl file from the downloads section. Once you get that file just do a mydsl-load gcc1.dsl or mydsl-install gcc1.dsl.
Even easier, type " mydsl-load gcc1.dsl system " ,
and it should download and install automatically for you.

Here are some good tips for getting your adaptor working with ndiswrapper - http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-274220-highlight-usr5422.html
- especially the part about the Window$ driver upper-case/lower-case problem.
There is a dedicated prism54 USB driver at http://jbnote.free.fr/prism54usb/ ... but unfortunately it can only be compiled under the 2.6 kernel. DSL has a 2.4 kernel.
