Thanks for your reply.
You are absolutely right. My Mandriva kernel's name is 3.1.2-1.1-desktop but the
compat-wireless "make install" is installing everything in the directory
/lib/modules/3.1.2-1-desktop/updates. The path is missing the ".1" before the
"-desktop".
I'm not sure why this is happening. I am running a Mandriva kernel from "Cooker"
(running Mandriva 2011, which comes with 2.6.38.x, but the Macbook Pro 8,2 DVD
isn't recognized until the 3.1 kernel. I also compiled my own 3.2-rc3 kernel but
then I can't get fglrx to work properly.
The joys of Macs and Linux..
But getting back to b43. How can I instruct "make install" to put the drivers in
the correct path? I'm going to try to just copy everything to the correct place
and run depmod and see what happens. Maybe that'll work??
That path is derived from the current kernel version. It should get it right.
You should already have the directory /lib/modules/3.1.2-1.1-desktop. The
command 'mv /lib/modules/3.1.2-1-desktop/updates to
/lib/modules/3.1.2-1.1-desktop/.' followed by 'depmod -a' should be OK.
