Trouble installing wireless drivers using ndiswrapper-1.2

[jbu311]

I went to http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/...hp/Installation
and am stuck on this step:
Compile and install
Go to source-directory and do

make distclean

As root run

make

and then

make install

--
I assume the source-directory is /usr/scr?
when I do "make distclean" it says "make: *** no rule to make target 'distclean'. stop"

I'm trying to install my broadcom 54g wireless adapter MaxPerformance 802.11g on a compaq presario r3000. I have the drivers and the ndiswrapper-1.2 but I just cant get past this step...yes i'm new to linux.

Any thanks would be appreciated,
Thanks

Hey,

I believe that the source directory is going to be the directory where the archive file was expanded.

Start there and the rest of these steps worked for me.

lemme see if that will work

I found these instructions to be pretty clear...

http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/m...p/Installation

had to extrapolate for my card and configuration, though.

thanks,i got past the step and everythings going smoothly so far

when i run wireless tools and type in "iwconfig" it's giving me an error : "iwconfig: error while loading shared libraries: libiw.so.27:cannot be shared object file: no such file or directory" it says theres no such file but I see the file in my wirelesstools directory..

any suggestions?

I am not familiar with the wireless tool iwconfig. In general, it sounds like you need to specify the fully qualified path, or relative path, to the libraries. Something like a ./libiw.so.27 somwhere in the command line. Check the command line help maybe? Sorry, not much help there.

got everything, thanks a lot for your help
