I installed ndiswrapper source from sarge debs. /usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper/wrapper.c:286:53: macro "halt" passed 1 arguments, but takes just 0 /usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper/wrapper.c: In function `miniport_halt': /usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper/wrapper.c:286: warning: statement with no effect make[5]: *** [/usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper/wrapper.o] Error 1 make[4]: *** [_module_/usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper] Error 2 make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.15.4' make[3]: *** [default] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper' make[2]: *** [binary-modules] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper' make[1]: *** [kdist_build] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper' Module /usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper failed. Hit return to Continue kernel is kernel-image-2.6.15.4.20060301 and kernel-source is in /usr/src/linux-2.6.15.4 and kernel headers in /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.15.4.20060301 and ndiswrapper source in /usr/src/modules/ndiswrapper. How should I proceed to compile ndiswrapper module? Further if anybody can throw somelight why kernel compiled from u nstable source couldn't boot even? -- L.V.Gandhi http://lvgandhi.tripod.com/ linux user No.205042
