you should type #su before de insmod and make install commands to gain root access.
Hi, sorry for my english. I've got wifi atheros (D-link G520 (b,g)) on Knoppix liveCD 3.3 11-19-03.
After make drivers(madwifi) i have made 3 files(wlan.o,ath_hal.o,ath_pci.o). I need to do insmod
insmod wlan/wlan.o
insmod ath_hal/ath_hal.o
insmod driver/ath_pci.o
I have this report:
knoppix@ttyp0[madwifi]$insmod wlan/wlan.o
wlan/wlan.o: create_module: Operation not permitted
I also tried make install:
knoppix@ttyp0[madwifi]$ make install
for i in ./ath_hal ./wlan ./driver; do \
(cd $i; make install); \
done
make[1]: Entering directory `/ramdisk/home/knoppix/madwifi/ath_hal'
test -d //lib/modules/2.4.22-xfs/net || mkdir //lib/modules/2.4.22-xfs/net
cp ath_hal.o //lib/modules/2.4.22-xfs/net
cp: cannot create regular file `//lib/modules/2.4.22-xfs/net/ath_hal.o': Read-only file system
