LAN Drivers can't find Kernel Header


Hey,
I am total newbie to Slackware and Linux so I dont know wat I am talkin abt here. I tried installin Linux drivers for my Marvell Yukon Miniport onboard Network controller (which came with my ASUS P5GDC-v Deluxe mobo).
the driver had choices between Client32,Linux,NDIS2,Netware,ODI and SCOUnix,
So I went into the Linux folder and did ./install.sh
Then I chose the auto install mode and then it gave following error
" Kernel Header not found. Please install the linux header files development package or create s link from the /usr/src/KERNEL_VERSION to linux
e.g : ln -s usr/src/Kernel_Version /usr/src/linux "

I just installed Slackware Linux 11 . I had some problems during install , many packages which were recommended for FULL install but not required weren't installed.

I went to /usr/src/ folder
there is only a single rpms folder inside no other folder

Please need a reply ASAP. Right now I need to reboot to windows just to post in the forum.
Thanks
Devdatta

Do a uname -a.

If it says linux 2.4.. something download and install this:
http://mirrors.easynews.com/linux/sl...3-noarch-1.tgz
with installpkg kernel-source-2.4.33.3-noarch-1.tgz

If it says linux 2.6.. something download and install this:
http://mirrors.easynews.com/linux/sl....13-i486-1.tgz
and this:
http://mirrors.easynews.com/linux/sl....13-i486-1.tgz
with "installpkg kernel-source-2.6.17.13-noarch-1.tgz && installpkg kernel-headers-2.6.17.13-noarch-1.tgz"

then continue your install and you should be set.
