Im trying to install the RT2500 driver for the Linksys WMP54G and I keep getting this error:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6-i686'

rt2500.ko failed to build!

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Have you definitely got the kernel-source package installed?

Im pretty sure this is what I have in

/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6-i686
arch include lib scripts
block init Makefile security
crypto ipc mm sound
drivers kabi_whitelist Module.symvers symsets-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6.tar.gz
fs kernel net usr

and I have done:

$yum install kernel-devel

just a side note, I did find a rpm of this module and it installed right but when I use modprobe it can't find it. The rpm put a file called rt61.ko in:

/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6/extra/rt61

Does any of that help?

Thanks in advance.

The solution is here.

Hey thanks, that worked perfectly, Im glad there are still people out there willing to help newbies! If anyone else has problems with this, here's what I did.

1.) With FC6, I have a Linksys WMP54G wireless NIC.

2.) I went to: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/...itle=Downloads
-and downloaded the "Latest BETA rt2500 driver: v1.1.0-b4"

3.) Extracted the file.

4.) Went to the (WhereEverYouExtractedIt)/Module directory

5.) Edited the "rt_config.h":
Replacing
#include <linux/config.h>
With
#include <linux/autoconf.h>

6.)Then in the (WhereEverYouExtractedIt)/Module directory
type: "make", then "make install-fedora"

7.) Then in KDE (I'm sure there's another way to get to this in Gnome)
I ran the Administration --> Network program, clicked "New" - "Wireless connection" - Select RaLink2500 and go from there.
