The "make all" command build the driver and the "make install" command install the driver finally. If errors during "make all" command you will not be able to do "make install" command and if errors during "make install" you will not be able to do A thru F steps.

When you did the "make all" command. Not errors?
If you do not remember or you aren't sure then make sure doing again "make all" command so:

cd /home/dsl/linux-wlan-ng-0.1.14-pre1
make all

(I had many "Warnings" on that step, but not errors)

If not errors above, then:

cd /home/dsl/linux-wlan-ng-0.1.14-pre1
sudo su
make install

If same error persist:
The message "install error 1" is a very generic message and therefore is insufficient information to indentify the problem but before there are others message lines. If you post exactly the result from last command that generates that error the help could be better.

QUESTION:
Browser to /home/dsl using Emelfm. Can see you the dsl-dpkg.dsl, gcc1.dsl and gnu-utils.dsl files?

Yo Piccolo
I did the driver install sequence several times--most recently running Make config, Make all, and Make install as root.
Make Config was successful.

Make All output was quite long. Significant lines follow:

/bin/sh : line1: M : Command not found.
/bin/sh : line1:.mkmetadef :No such file or directory
Make[2] :c: Command not found (appears several times)
Make[2]:o: Command not found
Cat:Write error: No space left on device (my pen drive has at least 400mb free)
Make [2]: *** [mkmetadef] Error 127
Leaving dir- Pre1/src/mkmeta
Make[1]*** [all] Error2
Make[1] leave Pre1/src
Make***[all] Error2
Note many lines showing Error 127 followed by Ignored appeared in list.

Make Install

find.-name.depend-exec rm {} \;
Search for files default path is current dir ; default expression is - print
Note- there are additional lines dealing with EXPRESSION and then
Make install Error 1

Note: gnu-utils,dpkg,and gcc1 loaded to the best of my ability. Gcc --help is present but no proof for dpkg and gnu-utils.

Is there any way to copy bash output on to a floppy or hard drive to copy and paste or email
Please advise the last line that you get for a successful Make All and Make Install. Thanks

The information from "make install" command is irrelevant if before "make all" command had errors. Because if "make all" command fails the "make install" command will have nothing to install or incomplete.

I cleaned all my files to repeat the driver compilation from the beginning to the "make all" command.
I'm sorry, i found two steps omitted inadvertently by me. Sorry again.
Then i sent you a email with the "typescript" attached file where i capture all my work on ATerminal (all the commands done and the outputs from the commands)

Unfortunately ATerminal have not "copy and paste" but if you find errors, you can capture the ATerminal output to file. Here explanation.
Using script

Yo Piccolo,
No need for sorry. I know you are trying very hard.
I was able to overwrite the file HFA348x.c.
The output for MAKE DEP is one line as follows:

***No rule to make target 'scripts/mkdep.c' ,needed by 'scripts/mkdep'

It seems that everything required is in place, but no driver.

Klasact, thanks for understanding me.
Make sure "make dep" command is working in /home/dsl/linux directory so:

cd /home/dsl/linux
make dep
