I recently switched back to Debian Lenny (gnome this time, much faster). But now I can't get the Broadcom driver to install, or even compile for that matter. I type in 

make -C /lib/modules/<2.6.xx.xx>/build M=`pwd` clean

But it gives me errors about there not being a makefile. what can I do to make it compile? And i have the headers installed (or at least I should since I installed them last night)

#2

Are there install-instructions with it ? Is ./configure not needed first ? Is there a file called autogen.sh ? Did you install build-essential ?

#3

Are you sure that you are in the right directory? It sounds like you might not be. If you think you are, can you post the results of:

ls -a

it says

.  ..  lib  Makefile  src

EDIT: ok I know what the problem is the kernel headers aren't installing right. Now the next problem, how *do* I install them if synaptic and apt-get aren't working?
