Cool ndiswrapper problem


hi fellowz, i downloaded ndiswrapper which i wanted for support of my wireless LAN,i hhave read the README file and as it says its telling me to run "make uninstall" which ran fine, but on trying make it gives me the following error.

suse:/home/soft/ndiswrapper-1.23 # make
make -C driver
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/soft/ndiswrapper-1.23/driver'
Can't find kernel build files in /lib/modules/2.6.13-15-default/build;
give the path to kernel build directory with
KBUILD=<path> argument to make
make[1]: *** [prereq_check] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/soft/ndiswrapper-1.23/driver'
make: *** [all] Error 2
suse:/home/soft/ndiswrapper-1.23 #


am running this on SuSe 10.0 an my kernel version is

suse:/home/soft/ndiswrapper-1.23 # uname -rp
2.6.13-15-default i686
suse:/home/soft/ndiswrapper-1.23 #

Now is the kernel able to support ndiswrapper and how should i do about the error? Thanx for support

1. Did you install the kernel sources as well?
If there is no link, you'll get an error at the make install step. To create a link, assuming the kernel sources are present, use the command
Code:
ln -s /usr/src/linux-<kernel-version> /lib/modules/VERSION/build
And if your kernel is supported or not cannot be answered with an output of uname at all.
your kernel must have 16k stack support enabled.
