Wireless instalation on Dell M20I had etch 4.0 working perfectly but decided to install instead the new lenny 5.0 (not upgrade). Everything is fine but the wireless connection is not working. I remeber it was easy to do in etch but now I am confused. If I am not wrong, first I need to install ieee80211. But this gives me the following problem: dh045077:/home/carlos/ieee80211-1.2.18# make The installation text file says that for the above problem: The installation requires the compiled kernel sources or headers /lib/modules/\`uname -r\`/build If that directory does not exist, or is empty, you likely need to % tar zxvf ieee80211-${VERSION} Where can I get those kernel source packages ? Is that not risky ? Thanks in advance

Re: Wireless instalation on Dell M20
it is already in the repository, just install the kernel-headers.
example:
$ uname -a
2.6.26-2-686
then you should install linux-headers-2.6.26-2-686 package. or the one that fits with your 'uname -r' output.
