Unable to use ndistrwrap with WPC54GS


Hello,

I've been trying and trying and trying and just getting more and more frustrated. I'm sure there is some stupid thing I just don't understand, but I'm kind of new at this so any advice will be gladly taken.

As I understand it my system needs to have a 16k stack size enabled in order to be able to use the ndistwrapper with the drivers for my wireless network card.

As per the instructions I have installed the RPM that is supposed to increase the stack size then I reboot and recieved no errors.

Per instructions[http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/m.../Installation], I run make distclean. Everything works fine. When I run make however, I get the following output:

make -C driver
make[1] Entering directory '/home/jon23d/Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.16/driver'
Can't find kernel build files in /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC.stk16/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/jon23d/Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.16/driver'
make: *** [all] Error 2

/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC.stk16/build is a link to /usr/src/kernels/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.stk16-i686, which does not exist.... /usr/src/kernels/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4-i686 is the only thing there.

Everything after this step works just fine. I guess my real problem/question is how do I recompile my kernel with a 16k stack size the right way so that make wil work. .....

This is too frustrating.

Thanks!

OS = fedora 4 core
