today i installed ubuntu hardy (dual booting with gutsy for now)

but my problem is i cant seem to get my wireless driver to work in hardy

in gutsy i used a patched (hacked up) driver that i got from this thread
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...light=rtl8187b
more specifically this link to get the driver
http://www.datanorth.net/~cuervo/rtl8187b/

this driver seems to do i fine job in gutsy ,for what i need for, although ive noticed that it is fairly buggy
(for instance the signal strength meter never goes above one bar despite the actual strength of the signal)

i have downloaded the exact same driver onto hardy
(i still had the original tar.gz file )

but anyway i cant get it to work on hardy
this is the error i get when i try to run ./makedrv
