Help I've just got my shiny new wireless N adapter and can't use it! *** No targets specified and no makefile found. I have tried going to the folder with the command line as when I run the first command 'make' I get When I do cd Desktop/2011 I get No such file or directory. I have done HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y' and 'HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y' I read the model number and immediately, the user on this forum who is struggling to get it to work came to my mind. It beats the answer you get on other forums and IRC: "Take it back and get a supported device."Īs an aside, I walked into Big Box Store a few days ago and saw a Netgear wireless USB device on the shelf. When a Linux driver is eventually released, we module monkeys have to fiddle with it a bit to get it to work. Typically, they come out with NO Linux support. The developers put drivers in the mainline distribution as fast as they can and yet new chipsets come out daily. It works pretty well in most cases and not at all in a few cases. It is written to try to work with Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, Fedora, PCLinuxOS, Suse, etc., etc. Most users would have no clue what to do.Ahhh, the joy of source code! It is written to try to work with kernels from 2.6.wayback to 2.6.4xx. If there are any errors, stop and ask warnings are usually OK.Īs an aside, I think it is absolutely ridiculous that users have to make these kinds of edits before a module will load properly. Now, a geek's dream open a terminal and do:Ĭd Desktop/2011Press Tab and the remainder will fill in. Proofread carefully, save and close the text editor. Please set 'HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y' and 'HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y'. Open the resulting folder and go to os > linux and use any text editor to edit config.mk.
It is far easier than it once was and less easy than I hope it will someday be. RANT: The automagic tools that extract files in Ubuntu work great until they don't and ole Chili has to tapdance. Rename the file that's extracted to RT5370. Go here: Download this to your desktop: RT8070/RT3070/RT3370/RT5370/RT5372USB Right-click it and select Extract Here.
