rtl8197b problem

hey there ive been trying to complie the moddified rtl8187 drivers as its the only way besides ndiswrapper to get the rtl8187b to work in linux my only problem is i get an error when it tries to complie it

Code:

greg@debian:~/rtl/rtl8187$ make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-6-486/build M=/home/greg/rtl/rtl8187 CC=gcc modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.18-6-486/build'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.18-6-486/build'
make: *** [modules] Error 2

anyone have an idea as to what im missing ?

 

Which 'distro' are you using ? 'Debian' could be pure Debian or any one of dozens of others
Apparently support for that type of wireless is available in Kernel 2.6.23 or later, so either upgrade your kernel or switch to a different 'distro' that has it already.

Or just use ndiswrapper, did you have a problem using it?
