Help! I can not install the drivers for the wireless adapter

Featured Replies

Hello!

Installed in the server wireless adapter Asus PCI-E N15. When you install the drivers have a problem:

 

root@tower:/boot//RTL819x_DIR# make

make: *** /lib/modules/3.1.1-unRAID/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.

make: *** [all] Error 2

 

unRAID Server 5.0 b14

uname -a:

Linux tower 3.1.1-unRAID

  • Author

Yes.

make -v
GNU Make 3.81

 

I think it is trying to tell you

/lib/modules/3.1.1-unRAID/build

does not exist.  (does it? )

 

If the directory does not exist, that would be created first.  (or make pointed to the correct path)

remove build, mkdir new folder build

I installed the package pciutils

I downloaded the kernel to 3.1.1 and unpacked it in the folder /lib/modules/3.1.1-unRAID , still get

make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/3.1.1-unRAID/build'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'.  Stop.

Sorry my english, i from Russia.

Yes.

make -v
GNU Make 3.81

 

Do you have g++?

The one question I have to ask on this one is... why bother?

 

It would be so much easier to set a router up in bridge mode and then connect the unRAID servers ethernet to that router in bridge mode.

Yes.

The router is in another room, so I want to make a wireless connection.

I understand that and gathered as much.

 

If you buy another router you can put it in bridge mode and then just plug the unRAID server into that bridge-moded router.

 

Make sure the router you get has a bridge mode function or you can at least install something like dd-wrt on it.

Yes, bridge mode means you use a second router and make it connect to your primary router and then connect the server to one of the Ethernet ports on this new router.

I already have a wireless adapter and I wanted to connect the server with it, not to buy second router

makes sense if you already have the wireless adapter.

I can't really help with your problem.

Did you ever resolve this issue? I'm having similar issues trying to get the card (PCE-N15) working

You'll need to compile a custom kernel to install any additional wireless drivers and then configure them yourself. unRAID has no configuration screens in its web-interface for wireless.  It is not impossible, but not really a task for a newbie.

 

Best bet is to use an external wireless adapter or a second router as a bridging router... that way unRAID needs no custom kernel or drivers.
