sorry... didn't mean to patronise, I know what I am doing, but I still made the mistake.

dolphin .. it may be worth checking the case, as linux is case sensitive..

Data and data are two different names. That was my mistake as I had the error as well

I think you are getting way too complex. Puppy already contains the pcmcia-cs drivers. These support your PCMCIA/Cardbus interface, but NOT the PCMCIA device itself. Just run the Network Wizard and see if Puppy automatically detects the correct network module for your DFE-680TXD. If not, try to loa...

hmm.. its not working.
Heres what i did:

copied kernel-src_301.sfs to /

#mount -o loop kernel-src_301.sfs /data

cp -a -v /data/* /usr/src/
/make config

it asks for the linux source i type /usr/src
and it comes up again with incomplete or missing

I think I'm out of my depth!

thank you very much.
I will try and do this .. I've never done anything like this before, it's good fun
ahem...my girlfriend is calling me geek

Hello all Please note i am completely new to all of this, so be gentle! I am following some instructions (from d-link) to compile my d-link 680txd ethernet card driver, as no drivers are available. I am at a stage where it is asking me for the Linux Kernel Source directory. I am using puppy 3.01 and...

Oh, bad luck then. I know there is a link somewhere where the kernel source is available, but as this goes beyond my skill, I didn't pay attention. Hope someone comes along to reference that link and gives a tip how to compile this whole thing. well thank you SO much for all your help so far. I am ...

Success and do come back if the ndiswrapper or so don't work. Please specify the exact steps you took and where it did go wrong. unfortunately, neither worked. using the puppy network wizard, i selected "Load Module" and tried every ethernet pcmcia module, each of which loaded, but "...

ok I will try the drivers and see if something works.

I'm sorry i didn't give enough info, I assumed the title was enough.

Thanks, compiling my driver will be my last route then!
Much appreciated

ok thanks. sorry didn't know about NIC

I have got a little futher, by using the guide here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=22701 to use the make command
I now need to know the linux kernel source directory to get futher.

so i've dug around a little and found the thread http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=8871 downloaded devx_301 (as i am using puppy 3.01) then went through the suggested commands # mkdir /mnt/devx # mount -o loop /devx_201.sfs [devx_301.sfs for me] /mnt/devx # cp -a /mnt/devx/* / # umoun...
