Hi every
i unfortunately bought years ago a DLINK Air-Plus DWL-650+ wirlesss
card containing the TI acx chip, the specs of which are secret.
there are two ways to create a work-around to make that card work in linux:
1. the acx project. this project has no installable package for fedora 9
2. ndiswrapper. this project has an installable package for fedora 9.
i remember that in an earlier version of fedora, i had used both of them
sucessfully.
with fedora 9, i can't even compile the necessary module (which would be
1. acx.ko, 2. ndiswrapper.ko).
i download the "newest" software (1. acx-20080210 tarball 2. yum
install dkms-ndiswrapper) and go into the respective directory to
compile the required module.
i get:
[root@myhost /usr/src/ndiswrapper-1.52-1.fc9]# make

above i had tried to compile the ndiswrapper-module, but the compilation
of the acx module fails in absolutely the the same way. the warnings and
the errors are just the same.
has anybody made better experiences than me with either of these projects?
thanks in advance for any helpful hints.
