rt73.ko failed to build?

[imported_slasher]

i tried to install the new driver for my WUSB54GC and followed tutorials from the forum.

but when i tried to run make command i got the following error

make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.21.5/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
rt73.ko failed to build!
make: *** [module] Error 1

what am i doing wrong? is the installation package corrupted or sumthg..?

You need the kernel headers. Just use the new BT3 Final.

And don't forget to donate a little something

I'm getting the exact same error with BT3 Final.

As you can see, I am getting the same error. I'm not sure what this might be. I tried using rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.3.tar.bz2 and rt73-k2wrlz-2.0.1.tar.bz2 ( which is an older version that was used in the tutorial that I viewed ).

I am using BT3-Final on a desktop that I build several months ago for SUPER CHEAP!

Specs:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+
MCP6PB M2+ MoBo
3 Gigs RAM
Bunch of hard drives
- If you need more info than that let me know ..

I even tried looking into that directory(/lib/modules/2.6.21.5/build) to make sure that it was there, and it is. Although 'build' is a file, not a directory which is what I expected because I do not see a file extention there.

Any ideas ? I am downloading backtrack 2 and the pre-final of 4 as well to see if that might make a difference. Also, I am about to boot this laptop to the live disk as well to see If I can get it running on this thing.

Thanks in advance for any help!!

You need to build the kernel source first

Is that a long and complicated process ?

I mean the drivers I have running on Ubuntu (which is installed on my HD) are working fine for packet injection
- Also, I thought I might try the rt73 drivers on Ubuntu, and I'm getting the same error. I thought maybe I was getting it because I was running a live session...

I would just like to aim towards getting into the WPA side of things and I know that I need these drivers to capture that lovely handshake.

Does BT4 have the drivers I need all ready to go ? Is it worth the download even though it isn't final yet ? Pre-releases make me nervous..

Thanks for the input!
