if you just installed it, so you could check it first is it loaded by a system or nope.
use "lsmod" command to check what driver suite your wireless hardware.

usually, default is still unloaded and you could simply type a command "modprobe ath_pci" without quote for example, to load the driver. There is a clear explanation on it's manual and it's good if you read it. :D

anyway, if you success, you will have a new hardware shows if you run "ifconfig" command as root.

Keep reading, googling, and you will got itl.


:D :D

Any help to a newbie on Fedora 6, in istalling drivers for a wireless card will be appreciated!

I am trying to load drivers for my wireless Dlink DWL-520+ card according to the directions given on http://acx100.soruceforge.net/wiki/ACX#installing. Using the “Inside the kernel” instructions and using the last set of commands, i.e., make menugconfig, and make && make modules_install, I receive the error shown i.e.,
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `init/main.o', needed by `init/built-in.o'. Stop.
make: *** [init] Error 2

The following output appears after I run make && make modules_install:

*** End of Linux kernel configuration.
*** Execute 'make' to build the kernel or try 'make help'.

[root@localhost 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i686]# make && make modules_install

Any ideas as why I am getting the error shown above, ie, No rule to make target...?

Thanks - ab

I'm still getting to grips with compiling myself, but have you installed ' kernel-devl ' for your kernel? That's needed for virtually any compiling. If that's installed you may get other error messages, but they usually tell you what else you need to install for a sucessful compile. Hope this helps.
