Have you installed ndiswrapper with the driver already? If not do so.
You might want to check the ndiswrapper supported card list cause it says that the linksys driver doesn't work properly and that you need another driver. But the text you quoted implies i works with the normal linksys drivers so you can try these out too.

Where does it say you have to link to the kernel source? Is it an error message or is it in some readme you're using at the moment.

Did you just run
in the directory?

BTW installing this way is really useful only ndiswrapper doesn't use the option that it's all about, ./configure which you use to set parameters that'll make the program especially for your computer/settings.

Not sure exactly what the problem is x.x :( as I've never used ndiswrapper but is there a mandrake RPM (as opposed to the source)? Would this work any better for you? I did a quick search on http://rpm.pbone.net/ via thier search function and I found an RPM for this program.

SP

There is an older version of ndiswrapper on the Mandrake CDs in RPM format. That would save you from having to load the required items for compiling from source - just install from the CD

The kernel source & development tools should be on the CDs as well. Installing the rpms will put everything in the proper place.

The docs you need are probably already loaded on the system.
