Hello. I'm trying to compile some WiFi drivers I downloaded from SerialMonkey: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Downloads

It's about a driver for a Ralink rt73 chipset.

I already got the build-essentials and the kernel-headers on my computer.

When I try to compile the driver using the "make" command I get this error:

root@curro-ubuntu:/usr/src/rt73-cvs-2009041204/Module# sudo make
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-20-generic'
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 0 modules
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-20-generic'
rt73.ko failed to build!
make: *** [module] Error 1

I've looked over the Internet and haven't found anything yet, I don't know why am I getting this error.

I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed on this computer.

I've seen some other persons having the same issue

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
