MAKE error compiling driver for wireless device
MAKE error compiling driver for wireless device
This is the first time I have ever tried to compile a driver.
This is the line in the install script...
make ARCH=i386 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/3.14.55/build M=/root/my-documents/RTL8188 8192EUS_linux_v4.3.0.4_11485.20140519/driver/rtl8188EUS_linux_v4.3.0.4_11485.20140519 modules
...and this is the error message that I get
make: *** /lib/modules/3.14.55/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
Running on Slacko 6.3.2
Creating a driver for Hornettek HT-WN300A.
I checked the Hornettek website, but it is currently down.

If there's no SFS_Manager in the menu, get the correct src here.
If you're noPAE, this one.
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Realtek says you need the RTL8192EU driver.
As it has the latest commit, I think you need this rtl8192eu-linux-driver package.
Green bar on the right, you want the zip.

OK.
I've made it past the previous error at the "make ARCH..." line.
Here's the new error message:

This fdrv sfs package has more firmware for Slacko 6.3.2
It may have what is needed already compiled and ready to use.
This is the fdrv sfs file.
Download this:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... ko_PAE.sfs
This is for Slacko 6.3.2 using Linux kernel 4.1.11
Check in menu>System>Pup-Sysinfo>Sys-specs>kernel to see if that is the kernel you are using.
I hope you have Slacko 6.3.2 as a frugal install with all the files in a directory(folder) usually named slacko632uefi.
Place the fdrv sfs in this directory with the other Slacko sfs files.
Reboot to get it loaded.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

I checked, and my kernel is 3.14.55.
I just downloaded and created my frugal Slacko 6.3.2 a few days ago, so I assumed it had all of the latest stuff.
Looking around for how to update the kernel, and it doesn't look easy.
Since I'm just trying to create a new system, and I am more than willing to start again from scratch, where would I find the newest Slacko that already has kernel 4.1.11 (or newer)?

Sorry for the misinformation.
Found this info for the Realtek RTL8192EU chipset
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=110812
Seems by this info you need the 4.9.13 kernel.
It tells you how to change the kernel and where to get a new one to use.
I assume you are using the 32bit version of Slacko 6.3.2. Make sure you get the 32bit kernel.
Slacko may already have change_kernels program. So, try entering it in a console to see what happens.
rcrsn51 actually made some pet packages to install the needed module/driver to different Puppies. however, the download seems to be dead.
That would be the easy fix.
Wifi just seems to be a constant moving target providing the needed support.
Unless you are stuck on using Slacko.
Xenialpup 7.5 is a good option to try.
There is this info on compiling the driver.

My problem was resolved by perdido providing me an alternate site to download the pet that was recommended by bigpup. See the following post for the download site:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=110812
This was the easy fix, because it did not require me to compile the driver, and I did not have to change the kernel.
So, while my problem with compiling the driver has still not been resolved, I now no longer need to compile this driver.
My thanks to all of you who responded to this thread.
