Hi,

I download DSL-N and DSL and I have found the linux driver for RT2500 wireless chipset network card.

Anyway I dont know how to compile it for normal use as it is in C code at the moment.

I downloaded GCC1 and tried the "make" command but it just gave me loads of errors.  Should there be a few switches to be used?

Please help, I am just a poor newby and used to windows!

Thanks,

Jon.

G'Day,

I had the same problem with the RT61 drivers.  Following the readme that comes with it just gave loads of errors with the make command.

I finally found out that the 'Configure' file is in the wrong format, and you have to fix it using 'dos2unix' command.

ie.  #dos2unix Configure

Then

#make config

After that it compiled ok.

Cheers,
Wittfella
