problem compiling ZD1201 USB WLAN driver

[hyno]

I'm trying to compile the driver module for the ZD1201 USB WLAN driver. Downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=94356. I keep getting the following error:

knoppix@2[zd1201-0.14]$ make
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ M=/home/knoppix/zd1201-0.14 modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/UNIONFS/usr/src/linux-2.6.11'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/UNIONFS/usr/src/linux-2.6.11'
make: *** [modules] Error 2


Any suggestions how I can resolve this problem?

At a guess, I'd say you're missing the kernel sources.

But how are you compiling?

Usually you'll do:

./configure

make

su to root and

make install.

I'm unsure of how this driver needs to be built.

I am compiling in Knoppix3.8.1. The kernel sources are present under /usr/src as far as I can see. There is no config file in the driver package. In the readme of the driver there is also no mention of a config file. All it says that is the kernel is newer than 2.6.10 you don't need to patch the kernel, and you can run make to compile the driver.

[fingers99]

what does

uname -r

show?

Any advice on the site/in the readme about gcc or make versions?

Are you sure you've got the kernel sources?

[hyno]

uname -r shows 2.6.11.

I also posted this question in the ZD1201 driver forum a week ago, but no answer as yet.

The size of the /usr/src directory is 23.6MB. So I think the kernel source is there.

But I do see the "modules" directory is empty. Does this mean the Knoppix CD made with incomplete kernel sources?
