I followed the instructions posted at the link above and also in the FAQ but I'm getting the following build error...

Also, I was wondering if it's possible to get a "pre-built" binary rpm that I can just install -- I spent a little time searching the HP site but came up empty.

I'm using MeeGo and hp mini 2140.
I'm actually using a custom kernel disabled WLAN, but WLAN's worked when I use official MeeGo kernel with patching following the FAQ instruction.

Perhaps something has been changed after some updates?

The method I've shown here is working with both released kernels I have in Meego. You may wish to give it a go:

Hi, tried the Slaine-way as well as the link above. In both, it comes down only having /usr/src/kernels/2.6.33.5-24.1-netbook, instead of the desired /usr/src/kernels/2.6.33.3-11.1-netbook. As far as I understand, the last part of that script

make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.33.3-11.1-netbook/build: No such file or directory. Stop."

refers to the paths above.

Make does use "uname -r" to create the path, but in my installation, the value delivered does not match. Any ideas? Please help.

Okay, found the mistake. So far, did not find it in the forum so I guess my solution might be helpful for some people.

I found out that Grub (Ubuntu first OS incl. Grub, MeeGo 2nd), directly boots kernel 2.6.33.3-11.1, so in order to get Slaine's manual to work, I had to manually edit grub.cfg to load updated MeeGo kernel 2.6.33.5-24.1. instead. "uname -r" then delivers right version, because then - and then only - this kernel is really loaded.

Thanks folks! I updated the FAQ with a pointer to this thread for the benefit of others who might be running into this error. I've since gone on to try the recent Ubuntu Netbook release which offers to install a pre-built Broadcom driver which seems to be working quite well so I'm going to stick with that distro for now. Although I have to admit I like the more simplified and streamlined UI in MeeGo but having to download all the dev tools and build your own driver is a hassle to say the least -- something that most users probably will not be willing to tackle.

Hi guys, I'm a total linux newbie, been fighting to install the wifi on a Samsung N210.
Could you please give me step by step instructions on how to edit grub and what to change precisely?

I know how to use VI, but I couldn't find grub and I don't know what to change there.

Thank you, I'm totally burned by now
