KERNEL HEADERS

[David McCormick]

I have been trying to install drivers for a Marvell nic and an Atheros 
wireless on my new Toshiba laptop but when I run the install scripts I 
get the error Kernel Headers not found. If I try to install them RPM it 
says they are already installed. I have searched the archives but can't 
find a reference to where they are.
I have loaded FC-9 x86_64, I use it on two other machines with no 
problem, on a Toshiba Satellite and the hardware is factory installed on 
it. I have found the tar balls to get them working if I can just find 
where the headers are.

Thanks
Dave

# rpm -qa kernel-headers

if they ae installed will return 
[students@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa kernel-headers
kernel-headers-2.6.26.3-29.fc9.i386
[students@localhost ~]$

if they are not present for your running kernel `uname -r`, then you may
# yum install kernel-headers

Ok I checked and as I thought the headers are installed. My problem is 
that I have to install a link to them and can't figure out what file 
they are in in order to link to them.

Are the headers for the exact same kernel you are compiling under?

Yes. Its looking for them under /usr/src/kernel and they don't seem to 
be there. I was wondering if they might be in a library somewhere else.

Do you have the kernel-devel package? If not, install it. That will give
you additional headers under the /usr/src/kernels tree which are often
required for compiling drivers.

I just noticed that you are using the  ath5k driver on your system. That 
is what I am tring to get working on my Tosiba laptop. How did you 
insall it. I am using FC09 is that what you are using? I can't connect 
to the internet until I  get either the nic ar wireless working.

I didn't. It came with the system.

The same (F9).

Me neither. I got no useful replies to my query on this list, tried the
madwifi driver from Livna (which wouldn't install because of some
dependancy I can't remember) and had to leave it for the moment.

Bit of an old thread here, but maybe someone will find the following useful:
1. Some drivers that require the 'kernel headers' need header files
from the kernel-devel package, rather than (or more likely in addition
to) kernel-headers.
2. "$ rpm -ql package-name" will list all the files provided by that package.

[David McCormick]

I have gotten all the files I needed to compile the software. I can now 
use the Marvell ethernet, however when I try to connect with the Atheros 
wifi it tries to connect but then comes back with the error message 
network disconnected. Any one have an idea.

I tried upgrading via yum to get the latest packages but lose my video, 
and get the irq 9 failed who cares.
