Gunblade iv,

That was exactly it! Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my newb question :) It installed without a hitch. I was looking all over on how to install iw, when in fact it seems I couldn't install much of anything else either! Now, lets see if i can get the rest of this setup working with my 4965... :P

Thanks again,
Chris

Dear Chris,

I think you dont have the dependencies to compile iw source, you can solve this problem by assuming this command on first step :

sudo apt-get install build-essential

then proceed like usual.
Yeah I have to admit that libnl1-pre6 isnt in the repo as it has been replace with libnl1. So you may ignore the libnl1-pre6 package on the steps given by me. I just recompile my 'iw' and it works fine. Just try the solution I gave above.

Leave a comment on the outcome.
thanks Chirs

Hi,

I followed your install tutorial (yes i'm a linux newb), installing to a folder on my desktop but i encountered 2 things: 1) libnl1-pre6 did not install because libnl1 replaced it and pre6 was no longer available, and 2) when i got to the make command, it gave me errors saying

"christopher@USB-Ubuntu:~/Desktop/wireless/iw$ make && sudo ln-s iw /usr/sbin/iw
CC iw.o
iw.c:7:19: error: errno.h: No such file or directory
iw.c:8:19: error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
iw.c:9:20: error: string.h: No such file or directory
In file included from /usr/include/netlink/genl/genl.h:15,

/usr/include/netlink/netlink.h:19:22: error: sys/poll.h: No such file or directory..........[it continues for a bit]"

Any idea where it could have gone wrong? I searched for the file genl.h and have it, and same with errno.h and string.h (i have many of these...) but then i tried stdio.h, stdint.h,and stdlib.h and come up with nothing..Is there some other install I might need? I'm running ubuntu 8.04 and updated everything that came with it (and using default kernel) but off a USB key, which caused me some trouble setting up up (like.. couldnt get to the desktop!) Any suggestions would be very appreciated :)

Chris
