ndis Wrapper problem


I'm trying to setup my PC so that I can use the wireless adapter I used before I moved to Linux (Its a Belkin USB 802.11g Model F5D7050) however I'm having a lot of trouble installing ndis wrapper to use the W1NdOW$ drivers. I keep getting this error:
make -C driver
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ate5000/ndiswrapper-1.1/driver'
Can't find kernel sources in /lib/modules/2.6.9-5.EL/build;
give the path to kernel sources with KSRC=<path> argument to make
make[1]: *** [prereq_check] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ate5000/ndiswrapper-1.1/driver'
make: *** [all] Error 2

could someone help me with how to fix this? I'm using RHEL 4

You don't have the kernel sources installed. So install the kernel source and possibly the kernel headers package.

so where would I go to find this and how could I possibly install it

sorry for being such a newbie about this stuff, I kinda dove into Linux headfirst after having a hard drive die on me.

RH uses rpms. I think there's some site called rpmfind.net or something similar which has a lot of rpms. You can find them there. To install them you have the rpm command and possibly a graphic tool as well. I don't use RH so I don't really know about those.

It doesn't hurt to read documentation on how to install things etc. Will probably make it a lot easier
