How to install linux-headers & kenel files

Postby brendonshaw » Sun Sep 09, 2012 6:14 am

I am still going around in circles trying to get my 8188CUS WiFi card working, I am new Liunx and find many great web pages but I am still confused what & how. The main problem is when I make the RTL8188cus driver, I have an error message:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
make: *** /lib/modules/3.2.27-3-ARCH+/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [modules] Error 2
##################################################
Compile make driver error: 2
Please check error Mesg
')

I have a fresh Arch installation and update the system using pacman -Syu.

I have been informed I am missing the linux-headers & kenel files, my question how or what is the best way to get this files so I have a /lib/modules/3.2.27.3-ARCH+ folder with the build files to build the WiFi driver?

If you had updated, the module is now built with latest kernel. Delete he module in extramodules before update. Possibly if dmesg tells you it can't find firmware, you need a symlink$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'ln -s /usr/lib/firmware /lib/firmware')

Sorry for off-topic, may I know how to enable the RTL8188CUS on Arch?

You mean the module/driver? It's all done, just plug it in.
Configuring, wicd is easy https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wicd
You don't need a GUI, once daemons are started, run wicd-curses for console configuring, it also takes care of wired as well as wireless connections

Ok thanks, I'll give it a try.

Edit: It worked. Thank you, pepedog!
