MACBOOK Pro with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 - ndiswrapper wont install


I have a MacBook Pro with RHEL 5 installed.

The MacBook has a wifi card but I can not get it to work.

I have ndiswrapper but when I go to install it, it fails.

It states "Cannot find kernel version in /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-194.el5-i686

I tried doing make KSRC=/lib/modules/2.6.18-194.el5/kernel and that fails

So, how the heck do I get this working?

I have read at least 10 articles that discuss similar issues but haven't found any that offer a work-around.

Is there something better than ndiswrapper? Something that actually works?

I am new to Linux and so far all I have done is research on installing and getting wifi to work. That's been 3 complete days that I have spent and I can't even connect yet.

Please give me some help.

Thanks,

T

You probably need to install kernel-devel and kernel-headers for that kernel.
Use yum.

Code:
yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers
