Well, first of all I don't think there's actually a target called 'oldversion'. Maybe you mean oldconfig?

The headers are pre-packaged and can easily be installed using the following commands: # apt-get install module-assistant # m-a prepare Also note that ndiswrapper source is already packaged in Debian, so you can build/install the module easily by running the above commands followed by: # apt-get install ndiswrapper-source # m-a a-i ndiswrapper -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
