My problem is I am unable to install the drivers for my 3CRUSB10075 wireless network card (chipset zd1211). I found the drivers but when I use the "make" command a list of errors come streaming down the page. My kernel is 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4. I've downloaded the kernel source and installed it with the rpm -ivh command and then rpmbuild -bp --target=noarch /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec (this came up with a few errors along the way but seemed to work). In the readme for the drivers it says it requires a configured source for the kernel - as a linux novice I'm not sure if the commands I entered did this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can't help but feel quite out of my depth. Thanks.

Edit: I have now moved the kernel sources into /usr/src/ and the error has changed to this

/lib/modules/2.6.11-prep/build
/home/tom/zd1211
-I/home/tom/zd1211/src/include -fomit-frame-pointer -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-unused -pipe -DAMAC -DGCCK -DOFDM -DUSE_EP4_SET_REG -DfTX_GAIN_OFDM=0
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.11-prep/build SUBDIRS=/home/tom/zd1211 modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.11-prep/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2

i didn't know if that would affect the way the problem could be dealt with?

That strikes me as an odd name for a kernel. Does the 2.6.11-prep match the name of the kernel as shown by uname -a? If they don't match, it suggests that you didn't install the source code that matches your kernel.

Yeah it struck me as a pretty odd name for a kernel too. I decided to try my hand at a different distro of linux (slackware) and now i've got the drivers sorted and learnt a bit in the process!

I applaud your choice of distros! It wasn't until I spent some quality time working on Slackware that I got a good understanding of how Linux really works. And the Slackware forum here is phenomenally helpful.
