Hi - I'm trying to get wireless running on CentOS 4.7 on a dual core laptop
(latitude-e4500) for an employee.
I'm having trouble with building dkms-ndiswraper-1.54-1.el4.rf -
enclosed are the
errors messages.
The kernel was rebuilt to disable CONFIG_4KSTACKS.
The errors prior to rebuilding the kernel are identical to the errors after
rebuilding the kernel and rebooting - minus the error regarding the
CONFIG_4KSTACKS.
Basically I just typed
make
in the directory.
I'm using dkms this time - I've never used it before. I'm under the impression
that all I had to do was type 'make' in the directory in the ndiswrapper
directory.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
