Broadcom Integrated wireless

[UnrealTear]

OK, I know your all probably saying not another intergrated wireless install, but this one is diffrent i swear. It turns out broadcom does have drivers for linux for their card. Score. But i seem to be stuke when im building the RPM or Compiling it from source. This is the error i get when trying to compile the RPM:

I had to cut most of it out due to the fourm not letting me post anything that long.



A little bit of backround info, Its an Emachines M5312 Laptop running Fedora. Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated.

Edited to say that i cannot compile anything from source. i seem, to get the same error no matter what file i try.

Do you have the kernel source installed for your current running kernel version? Canned reply from a text file I have.


You need to have the kernel-source package installed for your current running kernel version in order to compile hardware drivers.

If you are still running the stock/default kernel, install the kernel-source-#.#.#-#.i586.rpm package from your installation cd(s) or if running a updated kernel version, download and install from one of your distros ftp servers.

uname -r (tells you the running kernel version)

The kernel source will be installed in

/usr/src/linux-#.#.#-#

with a symlink pointing to

/usr/src/linux

The bcm4400 driver that you are trying to compile isn't for the wireless card, it is for the built-in ethernet port. And if I recall with fedora whenever building a driver module you have to set it to use gcc32 instead of the regular gcc compiler. Mahdi would probably know for sure since he has compiled a wireless driver for his Centrino card before. I'm not sure what wireless card you have but you might look at my post in the How I Did It forum. I used the ndiswrapper to load Windows drivers for my broadcom base mini-PCI card.
