Hello, i want to compile a wlan-driver for my zydas zd1211 usb wlan Dongle. The Dongle don't work with ndiswrapper. DSL 4.2.5 frozen by "modprobe ndiswrapper".In MyDSL i have installed:
<
>The Driver I`try to use is from here:
< http://zd1211.wiki.sourceforge.net/VendorDriver >
Driver version 2.22.0.0
The Readme for Driver version 2.22.0.0:
< http://www.nopaste.org/p/aX5SuolKi >
The Driver ist for Kernel 2.4.x.
lsusb type:
| Code Sample |
| Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0ace:1211 |
It's a Acer WLAN 11g USB Dongle.
The Dongle work's in Debian Etch with ndiswrapper and the kernel zd1211 implementet zd1211 driver. When I want to use the implementet Option from the Kernel, I must use the Firmware from Debian Sid.
In DSL 4.2.5 don't can compile the Driver with make.
make begin to run, and than Error.
How can I compile a Driver for my Dongle?
Thank you.

What error do you get from make?I also took a look at the Makefile. You probably need to chang this line:

The original Makefile from ZD1211LnxDrv_2_22_0_0< http://nopaste.info/2c459bb8a9.html >
The Changelog-Couruga-Makefile
line 23 "KERNEL_SOURCE=/usr/src/linux-2.4" ----->
"KERNEL_SOURCE=/usr/src/linux"
< http://nopaste.info/01c73b9b01.html >
If I use "make"-----> Error.
How can I post the Message from Emelfm here?
I don`t know to work with copy an paste.
Edit: ndiswrapper don't work to.

how to copy and paste: click the mouse, drag it while clicked so you highlight text, move the mouse where you want to paste, click on the wheel.

See the first popup under dillo during startup, or view it in the wiki

Do a google search for "how to copy paste" and then paste us the error message from `make`.

HelloTopic: DSL 3.4.11 compiling Driver for Zydas zd1211, Zyda, DSL 3.4.11 compiling
DSL 3.4.11 used the Kernel 2.4.26.
DSL 4.25 used the Kernel 2.4.31.
If zd1211 in DSL 3.4.11 don't work, zd1211 can work in DSL 4.2.5.

Thank you andrewb and the other.

Edit:
I`m using the follow Extensions from DSL
<
>The Kekernelsource-2.4.31.dsl is from Testing.
| Code Sample |
n Mydsl Extension, in Testing, there is a kernelsource-2.4.31.dsl This is the info file: --------------------------- Title: kernelsource-2.4.31.dsl Description: Kernelsource for DSL 4.x Version: 1 Author: Peter Misch - http://www.skripta.de/ Original-site: ftp://ftp.oss.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/distributions/damnsmall/current/kernel/ Copying-policy: Whatever license my program uses (GPL, BSD, MIT, etc) -------------------==[ color=red Filesize=2,1 MB ]==------------------------------ Extension by: pmisch - Peter Misch Comments: This kernelsource is needed if you want to compile kernelmodules for DSL 4.x - like wlan cards .... It is heavily stripped down to minimize memory usage. Change-log: Current: 2007/12/08 - First Version |
The Driver Binary ist from here:
< http://zd1211.wiki.sourceforge.net/VendorDriver >
Driver version 2.22.0.0
I have modified the makefile:
The Original Makefile from Package:
< http://nopaste.info/2267adaee0.html >
Line 23 KERNEL_SOURCE=/usr/src/linux-2.4
-----I have--changed--to------>
KERNEL_SOURCE=/usr/src/linux-2.4.31
Than you can compile the module.
