The .ko file this produces must then be copied to the /lib/modules/`uname -r `/extra folder.

BTW - this (.ko) implies that a 2.6.x kernel is expected rather than a 2.4.x (.o) kernel

Hello @all, Juanito write:

I believe dsl 3.x and 4.x use version 16 of wireless extensions.

This being said, I've seen that ndiswrapper complains about dsl using version 16 and version 18 being required, but then it works anyway...

Which Version of wirlesse extension use DSL 4.2.5?

- dsl-4.2.5 uses the linux kernel 2.4.31. In this kernel, the kernel modules are named something like module.o

Newer versions of linux use kernels named something like 2.6.19. In these kernels, the kernel modules are named something like module.ko

What I was trying to say was that, from the instructions you pasted, it looks like the make command would work with a 2.6.x kernel and would not work with dsl-4.2.5 which uses a 2.4.31 kernel

Hello, Thank you.

I have understand.

Notice from AVM:

# Installing the AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick in Linux
#
# NOTE:
#
#
# This driver can only be used with kernel version 2.6 or higher.

Can I use the Kernel form DSL-N in DSL 4.25?

DSL-N use Kernel 2.6.x.

If yes, how can I install the DSN-N Kernel?
