TwinMos WIreless Card on Laptop. Have Drivers

[severndigital]

I am running Centos5 and i have TwinMos wireless card for the laptop that i can't seem to get running.

the installation readme says this.

< Installation >
Please try to load linux_24x.o first by "insmod -f rtl8180_24x.o".
If it doesn't work, you are suggested to compile loadable driver module following the steps as:

	(0)Make sure the C-compile version. Run "gcc -v".
       If gcc version is 2.xx, use release driver RTL8180_24x_RH73.zip.
       If gcc version is 3.xx, use release driver RTL8180_24x_RH90.zip.

	(1)Modify macros in Makefile.
         KERNELRELEASE - represent kernel release version
         IO_FLAGS - pci I/O space mapping
         ENDIAN_FLAGS - big/little endian
         OP_MODE_FLAGS - Operation on either AP or Client mode
         DRV_FLAGS - Driver debugging messge ...etc.

    (2)Check pci module initialization and system call interfaces in the provided source code,
       r8180_pci_init.c ....etc.

	(3)Run 'make' to generate new driver module.

	(4)Refer to < Set wireless lan MIBs > and modify script files, 
             wlanup/wlandown, to set Wireless LAN specific parameters.
             Run wlanup/wlandown to activate/shut_down wireless lan.
             Usage:
               ./wlanup {ap|infra|adhoc}
               ./wlandown
             Note:
               - "./wlanup ap" works if OP_MODE_FLAGS is assigned RTL_ACT_AS_AP in Makefile.
               - "./wlanup {infra|adhoc}" works if OP_MODE_FLAGS is assigned RTL_ACT_AS_AP
                 in Makefile.

when i try to run the insmod command i get an error and when i run the make command i get an error 127

any help / ideas would be great.

thanks,
chris

Did you do what the installation stated?

- Checked your compiler version?
- modified "Makefile"?

You obviously ran make but without the proper modifications it will run into trouble.
