[mattandelise]

I just went and reinstalled them all to same thing

[mattandelise]

any ideas anyone?

you have some weird problems. if you have the complete development environment, kernel sources etc, it should work.

[bob_coulter]

try "make -C /lib/modules/<correct kernel>/build M=/home/hybrid_wl"

I had the same problem and by hard coding the working directory it fixed mine, in other words M='pwd" wasn't working..

I should probably just switch to another os im ****ed i guess...

mattandelise@linux-56p3:~/hybrid_wl> make -C /lib/modules/2.6.25.11-0.1-default/build M=/home/hybrid_wl
make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.25.11-0.1-obj/x86_64/default'

if you have the 4322 like mine, ditch the wifi card. buy a Linksys WUSB54GC USB wifi adapter. the wl driver sucks, it doesnt work with ssh. Find my other thread about SSH not working.. its in the network section. Get the usb stick and EVERYTHING works

I'm going to buy one tomorrow then.Can you give me a link to a page to learn the basic commands and such of learning linux previously I used ubuntu before any other one ive noticed its diffrent.I'm a pc technician on windows pcs but i would like to be just as good at knowing linux basics then moving on to repairs aswell considering were actually selling some linux pcs in our store now

[mattandelise]

Also is there any installation involved in that usb card or is it preinstalled?

read this..it'll get it working for you.

as far as linux tutorials, I never really read a "how to" on linux in general online. I usually bought a command reference book and a book that covers advanced topics just in case I needed to look up a few things.

One good thing to buy is a book on SuSE Linux if that is your distro of choice. A majority of the commands used in Linux are applicable to all distributions which is why I have a generic Linux reference manual. I dont always log in/post but I do read stuff in this forum even if it doesnt pertain to me, you'll learn alot by doing that. There are alot of smart people in this forum, good place to hang out.

I read through this thread, downloaded the driver from broadcom, compiled, inserted module - no problems.

When the driver is loaded the following errors are shown:
