How to install wifi card in Linux

[void]

I want to install external wireless card under Suse Linux 9.2. I open the package and the installation steps but I did not understand or I put the package and the makefile, that is in this case, I leave or I change sound path and more in there makefile has the following lines to change

KERNEL_SOURCE = /usr/src/linux-2.6.9

instead of usr I think I met root then what I am instead of src and how to fetch the content of this variable

Not an easy job!

No, seriously, you think you could be more specific! What is the model of your wireless card? What drivers do you install?

Even if there is a package, no need to Makefile (except very special cases).

Then, a Makefile ... it will absolutely where we want. This is a file that defines how it compiles and installs the application. So wherever this works and you can even remove it at the end of the installation.

About the installation of the card type and SAAP package is: ZD1211LnxDrv_2_15_0_0

I made a little but not well done because I find I've changed the variable type of kernel that is write kernel_source = /usr.src/linux-2.6.18.2-34 that the kernel is installed. Now just compile and install but when I write the compiler make the following error appears:

Makefile: 136: *** missing separator. Stop.

kernel_source = /usr.src/linux-2.6.18.2-34

I hope it is a mistake in the copy, otherwise you're good to change again ... there is a "." in place of a "/". Then, the ideal would be to /usr/src/linux is a symlink to the latest kernel.

SAAP, that not told me anything. That is what kind of card? USB? PCMCIA? PCI? (yes, this is important)

Finally, this is not explicit:

Makefile: 136: *** missing separator. Stop.

Should be the rule of the makefile which corresponds to the line 136 (basically the 136 line and its context).
