Error during Intel Ethernet e1000e driver compilation in Debian Sid
Due to a motherboard change I need to compile the e1000e Intel driver for the integrated ethernet (a 82579LM chip) because the Debian kernel apparently comes with an outdated e1000e version (modinfo says that the driver version is 2.3.2-k, but I’ve downloaded the 3.1.0.2 from Intel: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=15817&lang=eng&ProdId=3299) But when I try to compile the driver I obtain the error:
Makefile:108: *** Linux kernel source not configured - missing autoconf.h. /usr/src/linux-headers-$(BUILD_KERNEL)-amd64/include/generated/ where $(BUILD_KERNEL) is the output of uname -r. I suspect some search paths in the driver Makefile are wrong. There is a variable called KSP with the search paths:
# Kernel Search Path # All the places we look for kernel source KSP := /lib/modules/$(BUILD_KERNEL)/build \ /lib/modules/$(BUILD_KERNEL)/source \ /lib/modules/$(BUILD_KERNEL)-default/build \ /usr/src/linux-$(BUILD_KERNEL) \ /usr/src/linux-$($(BUILD_KERNEL) | sed 's/-.*//') \ /usr/src/kernel-headers-$(BUILD_KERNEL) \ /usr/src/kernel-source-$(BUILD_KERNEL) \ /usr/src/linux-$($(BUILD_KERNEL) | sed 's/\(7*\.6*\)\..*/\1/') \ /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/$(BUILD_KERNEL)-default/build /usr/src/linux-$(BUILD_KERNEL) \ /usr/src/linux-$($(BUILD_KERNEL) | sed 's/-.*//') \ /usr/src/kernel-headers-$(BUILD_KERNEL) \ /usr/src/kernel-source-$(BUILD_KERNEL) /usr/src/linux-headers-$(BUILD_KERNEL)-amd64 /usr/src/linux-headers-$(BUILD_KERNEL)-common /usr/src/linux-kbuild-3.16 Makefile:108: *** Linux kernel source not configured - missing autoconf.h I’m sure this is a bad path definitions, but I don’t know how to fix it Has anyone compiled an Intel driver in Debian Sid?

Missing linux/autoconfig.h
i tried to install cisco vpn client to the /bin folder. I have the latest version of ubuntu running and this is my very first package to install. But when i want to start the script vpn_install i get this:

I already installed the mentioned linux header and still getting this error message. Ok, this linux/autoconf.h file is not traceable, but i don’t really know how to fix this.
I would be graceful if anybody could give me a hint.forum ubuntu

in /usr/src/linux/ & save the kernel configuration, this will generate the /usr/include/linux/autoconf.h file according to the kernel configuration.
Thread: Where is autoconf.h ?
Frothy Coffee! 
Where is autoconf.h ? SOLVED
I’m trying to compile a driver and it says it requires autoconf.h. I have the kernel headers installed. Is autoconf.h not used in kernels anymore?
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.28-14-generic/include/linux/autoconf.h
If it is still used, how do I acquire it?

I tried removed this line and it gave me even more errors so put it back. From what I can gather, the compiler is trying to find the autoconf header file but it can’t. I then ran a search on the header file and here are the results:
$ sudo find / -mount -name autoconf.h /usr/src/linux-2.6.35-ARCH/include/generated/autoconf.h /usr/src/linux-2.6.32-lts/include/linux/autoconf.hI replaced ‘linux/autoconf.h’ with the full locations of the previous two searches and then it spat out the same errors as if i’d removed the line (I think, if not the same, it was a similar amount!).
I’ve been following the guides on this webpage.
Any help? This seems more of a problem with my installation than it does the drivers. Could it be because I’m running 64 bit?

Arch Linux
Hi
I am new to ArchLinux. Before I have used: RedHat, Fedora, Ubuntu, SLES and for quite long time OpenSuse (I still love it and have on other machine).
I decided to try ArchLinux on my laptop because I think OpenSuse is too heavy in some cases. I think its time for me to try a little bit more than box distro like openSUSE.
I have successfully installed ArchLinux on my machine with dual boot with Suse (thats why I do not need GRUB).
Now I have issue with my network. I already know that AR* Family does not work out of box, so I am trying to add it.
The issue I have is this:
since I do not have network, I have booted from CD and used ‘arch-chroot /mnt’. Everything fine so far. I can add packages with pacman. I added ‘make’ and gcc’.
Now I try to ‘make’ from package AR81Family-linux-v1-10.1.14.tar.
When I execute ‘make’ I see error:
Linux kernel source not found
I have executed pacman -Qi linux and see there version 3.11.1-1.
I already installed linux-headers, but this not solve my issue. What package do I need?
I am not sure about «AR81Family-linux-v1-10.1.14». I know the WIKI mentioned another package , but I know «AR81Family-linux-v1-10.1.14» worked fine with SLES 11 SP1.
I have two questions:
what package is missing for kernel source?
what package do you advise me to install considering the kernel 3.11 and Laptop: ASUS G51J.
