Ok, well I'm trying to install ndiswrapper on my machine running FC4. When I type the make command it says the following:

Can't find kernel sources in /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/build; give the path to kernel sources with KSRC=<path> argument to make

Any ideas?

The ndiswrapper is a kernel module and must be compiled against your kernel source. The kernel source code is usually stored in /usr/src/linux or /usr/src/linux-<kernelversion>

If you have the kernel source then simple go back to your ndiswrapper source code directory and type:

make KSRC=/usr/src/linux
or replace /usr/src/linux with /usr/src/linux-<kernelversion> depending on which directories exist on your system


It is possible that you dont have your kernel source code on your system if a kernel image was installed from your distro installer. If this is the case try the following:

Checking the kernel version
At a terminal console type: cat /proc/version
that should display your kernel version

You've got two options:-
1.) Since your using fedora and probably a kernel that came with the fedora installer you may be able to find an ndiswrapper .rpm file (the ndiswrapper rpm file must be for your specific kernel version) in your packet manager or on rpmfind.net
2.) If the above fails, you can download the kernel source at www.kernel.org choose the the full kernel source that matches your kernel version, download and extract into /usr/src/linux-<kernelversion> and return to you ndiswrapper source dir and type: make KSRC=/usr/src/linux-<kernelversion>

Hope that is of some help to you.

Good Luck.

Ok, thanks a lot. After having a look, I've realised I haven't got the kernel source. So I'll download that then give it another go.

Edit: I can't find my kernel version on that website... I'm looking for 2.6.11-1.1369

I managed to find the source code for your specific kernel on google using the following keywords:
kernel 2.6.11-1.1369

If your ever lost when looking for files always try google.

Here it is:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...69_FC4.src.rpm

The above is a link to download an rpm package which contains the source code to your kernel version, notice the filename includes src.rpm saying this is an rpm package which will install source code.

I found this from the following site which also contains the binary rpms to install your kernel:
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/..._FC4.i686.html

I downloaded the rpm file, but now I don't understand what I do with it. How do I install it? Sorry about this.

The file is in rpm format (Redhat Package Manager) fedora should support this since its a fork of the redhat distro.
To install the file you must use a package manager (an application for installing/removing software)

Since I dont use fedora I do not know the exact procedure for installing the rpm file, however I did manage to find what looks like a handy guide to installing rpms on fedora thanks to google:

Just incase you are struggling, there is a method of installing the file form the console which is standard for most distros that use rpms:

rpm -Uvh kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.src.rpm

Execute the above command in the directory you downloaded the rpm too. This should install the kernel source and you can then navigate to the /usr/src directory and have a look for it.
