Hi,
I’m trying to compile madwifi, but the makefile requires some kind of a configuration file from the kernel (noob alert:o). It outputs
*** KERNELCONF: /lib/modules/2.6.25.5-1.1-default/build/.config does not exist..
How do I get this file?
I have a “ThinkPad 11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini Express Adapter” which is, as far as i understood the whole problem stupidiam, not supported by the newest version of madwifi. However, there has been an nightly snapshot of madwifi supporting my card. But because of some reasons I can’t understand they abandoned the support for the card temporarily. So I need to use this specific version of madwifi.
I think here: ThinkPad 11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini Express Adapter - ThinkWiki and here: How to checkout and install madwifi experimental driver for ar5008 - ThinkWiki is a good explanation…

cd to the /usr/src/linux subdir
type:
make cloneconfig
then try your madwifi installation / configuration again.

hi,
this directory /usr/src/linux doesn’t exist
there’s a dir named linux-2.6.25.5-1.1-obj in /usr/src and in its directories there’s no ‘makefile’ file
As a basic rule of thumb, having gcc/gcc++,make & kernel sources installed will overcome these annoyances,check you have them installed.they can all be installed via YaST - Software management. See if that helps
