Hi all:
I am trying to install ndiswrapper and I need to make a link to the kernel
source. I know how to make a link but I do not know where is the kernel
source and where should I place the link and what to name it. Please help.

/usr/src/linux, if you installed the kernel-source package.

what link exactly? if you're talking about /usr/include/linux and
/usr/include/asm, then skip this step. it breaks your system. install the
kernel-headers package instead.

Thank you, got it. I had to get the source and recompile it from there. It
was the easiest way for me.

rm -rf /usr/include/asm /usr/include/asm-i386 /usr/include/asm-generic
/usr/include/linux
cd /usr/src/linux/include
cp -r asm-i386 asm-generic linux /usr/include/
cd /usr/include
ln -sf asm-i386 asm

You'll need to change i386 if ur not on x86

RUBBISH.
The kernel should be compiled using the headers supplied
which were used to build the compiler and libs.

Just install the kernel-source package.
Do not mess with the includes.
