Hmm... I ran the following commands... # cd /usr/src # apt-get install kernel-source-2.2.17 # bunzip2 kernel-source-2.2.17.tar.bz2 # tar -xf kernel-source-2.2.17.tar # cd kernel-source-2.2.17 # make dep # find . -name moduleversions.h The find comes up empty, and the linksys driver still fails to make! Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks. -samuel
