| 275377 | 2004-09-27 11:57:00 | Thanks again Wood-Chuck Could be getting some traction here. Iwconfig is definately present. Following through other commands, I get "CONFIG_NET_RADIO=Y". Updated the shared libraries OK. Assume I still need to install the kernel module. A variant of your command "cd/ ...../rt2400-1.2.1/Module" was accepted OK, but the following command "./Configure" produced response "No such file or directory" -what's this doing ...? Thanks |

| 275378 | 2004-09-28 23:10:00 | Righto. That was a mistake on my part sorry - I've just reread the instructions and ./configure isn't listed. So, instead: cd /[path]/rt2400-1.2.1/Module make su make install exit lmod rt2400 And that will install the drivers, check that the kernel knows it's there and so forth. After that, the manual recommends installing RaConfig, so cd ../Utility ./Configure (this one should work) make su make install exit Assuming that all works you can either use Mandrakes GUI to setup the NIC with the settings you want or do it via the terminal. |

| 275379 | 2004-09-28 23:14:00 | > lmod rt2400 On hindsight I don't agree with the instructions on this one. I'd recommend "lsmod | grep rt2400" and if anything appears beneath then you're sweet, if not then it's headding back to the drawing board and finding out why (which is a great learning curve) |

| 275380 | 2004-09-29 08:19:00 | Thanks again Wood-Chuck. Your commands worked OK until 'lmod rt2400', which wasn't recognised. Tried your 'lsmod | grep rt2400', for which nothing appeared underneath - so assume this means problems? Went on anyway and tried './Configure' which produced message 'we recommend you use the new version qt-x11-free-3.1.1 or later, otherwise make could be failed'. 'Make' then duly failed, producing message g++ command not found. Does this help identify where the problems might be ...? Cheers |

| 275381 | 2004-09-29 12:35:00 | Have you installed the development tools for your Distro? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 275382 | 2004-09-29 20:35:00 | Hi Chilling_Silence I thought I'd done a full install from the Mandrake disks - how can I tell if the development tools are present, and will this make a difference? The network tools are present Cheers |

| 275384 | 2004-09-29 23:14:00 | Thanks. Appears tools are installed - got similar text to yours. Final line was 'gcc version 3.3.2 (Mandrake Linux 10.0 3.3.2-6mdk)'. Does this help ..? Cheers |

| 275385 | 2004-09-29 23:29:00 | Try: whereis g++ I get: Chill@Stellar ~ $ whereis g++ g++: /usr/bin/g++ /usr/man/man1/g++.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/g++.1.gz If you get that, I'd assume you should try: ./configure --prefix=/usr Then see how you go! Chill. |

| 275386 | 2004-09-29 23:40:00 | Hi CS Response to the 'whereis g++' command was simply 'g++:'. Does this indicate a problem ..? Cheers |
