NIC Issues

Hello Latcarf,

I've got exactly the same rerror message than you have.
You mentioned that were missing "development" tools.
Could you please explain me what is the exact name of the package to install.
I'm with opensuse 10.3 as well.
My laptop is a ACER 5520EG

Thanks a lot in advance

Try this:

yast2 -i findutils readline libgcc glibc-devel findutils-locate gcc flex lynx compat-readline4 db-devel wget gcc-c++ make vim telnet cron iptables iputils man man-pages

Hello Falko,

I tried to load some extra development tools from the CD and it still doesn't work.

I know I am supposed to do a "make " and then a "sudo make install".

Then I tried the line you told me but I still have the same message errors:

You're running this as root, right?
What's the output of

ls -la /home/perso/madwifi-ng-r2756-20071018/ath_hal

?

Hi again,

I see what you meant.
So I did a chmod -R 777 to the upper directory and tried again my "make" and "sudo make install" but it failled one more time.
But to give an answer to your question , here is the status now:

All lines which are not in 777 are not possible to change using chmod 777 *.
I don't know exactly why.
The parent folder "madwifi-ng-r2756-20071018" is of course in 777 status too.
I'm obviously SU when performing the command lines.

Have a good WE

That's strange. Unfortunately I have no idea what else could be the problem...
