I'm trying to get my Linksys WMP54G wireless PCI card to work in FC5. I've downloaded ndiswrapper and both the drivers it says for my card (I'm not sure which version it is yet - can I find it on the box?), but when trying to run 'make' in the ndiswrapper directory, it says it can't find the kernel source files. I've tried the instructions here but to no avail - I can create the simlink for build in the /lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2122/ folder (I think that's the right folder - I'm having to use Windows at the moment as I have no internet in FC5) to point to /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.16/, or /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/ but ndiswrapper doesn't like that. Does anyone have any suggestions?
1. Find hardware version. I remember it was not an easy task. Box does not say anything. Visit company's web, and look for any tiny tiny tiny difference, such as document # at the bottom.
2. If ralink chip, use serialmonkey driver.
2. If broadcom chip, you may or may not be in right track.
Well my Windows driver is rt61.sys, so I'm guessing that means I have the Ralink RT61 chipset. I've tried following the instructions here, but when I run the make all command, I get a load of errors which seem to be source related. If I ignore them and continue, I get stuck at this point:

G. Load and test the driver:
# $/sbin/insmod rt61.ko
