How do you compile drivers?

**redss** · 01-31-2009, 03:58 PM

On backtrack 3 final live CD, I get the following error whenever I try to compile ("make") the driver for the usb dongles (RT73 and RTL8187L drivers)

Code:

 make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.21.5/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.

What am I doing wrong?

You need the kernel headers.

Code:

# wget http://www.offensive-security.com/kernel.lzm
# lzm2dir kernel.lzm /

If you are using the CD version of BT3 you will need to manually add the kernel sources using the following commands.

Code:

wget http://www.offensive-security.com/kernel.lzm
lzm2dir kernel.lzm /

EDIT: Larryhaja beat me to it by a nose length.
