Networking :: ATMEL wireless pcmf502rd driver no longer n distro



Hi I tried this but when i run make config I get the following errors:

error could not get terminal size

xwindows include files missing
grep /.config no such file or directory

it then prompts me for root dir of external pcmcia

if it point it to /etc/pcmcia I get another error

/etc/pcmcia dir /include does not exist

if i try to continue by running make clean then make all then make install i get a final error of:

depmod: Can't open /lib/modules/2.4.26/modules.dep for writing

I'm way out of my water here !

I think I may have DL the wrong version of knoppix, will give this a go, then can i test without recompiling mydsl ?

I'd guess recompiling will be my best option once it works, if I'm doing this I'd like to update firefox, is there an easy way to update it, I've seen a few .dsl's but it seems to be at least 20MB did it really bloat that much ?

The correct version of knoppix is:

knoppix-3.4-5-17-2004

Can anyone give me a mirror / working torrent for this version of knoppix ?

or even better the missing files as a dsl extension  :laugh:

I've been reading these posts regarding 3Com OfficeConnect PCMCIA card and DSL.  

I have the same problem with the can't get window size when compiling atmel on DSL. So I got the correct version of Knoppix, burnt to a CD, then tried it again.

I found that when the atmel make config asks for external pcmcia directory, it wants the path to the kernel source (/KNOPPIX/usr/src/linux-2.4.26 on a knoppix LiveCD).  However, when I boot to the LiveCD and run the make install, it barks about the target being read only...duh, it's a CD.

How do I get around this?  Has anyone made a .dsl file of a working one yet?  I'm actually thinking of doing a knoppix install on a box just to get this damnsmall-file for damnsmalllinux  This issue has been the center of my universe for days now...I need to finish this so I can sleep at night.    :angry:
