Hi, im a complete linux newbie, and really need some help. I want to get my laptop wireless card working in linux, the card is an ibm triband wireless mini pci card. Ive tried following a tutorial here at madwifiwiki.thewebhost.de/wiki/SuSE90ProfessionalThinkpadR40IBMTriBandMiniPCICard but its for SuSe not redhat 9. And it didnt go according to plan. Ive decompressed the tgz file to a folder. Apparently in order to build the driver i need to edit the makefile.inc. Ive tried editing this file but....

thats the file but which bits do i add to, and how do i find out where my kernel source is? Ive definetly installed it as i did a complete install. I tried the make command even though i hadnt touched this file in the end and got this...

I got this error message ...

Makefile.inc:98: /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/build/.config: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target '/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/build/.config'. Stop.


Any help would be MUCH appreciated thanks,
