Mandrake 10 and ndiswrapper

[palmem]

I have successfully gotten my Mandrake 10 Public installed (after erasing my comp once)

I have also gotten KDE working, thanks to the help from other users on this forum!

What I was wondering is how to get my Dell 1450 (a/b/g) card to work

I have tried that commercial software, which didn't do anything

Then I tried ndiswrapper, which looks very promising

First I untar it (or whatever its called)
Then I go to the directory (as root, in console) and type "make install"
It gives me an Error 2 (i can post all of it if you need it)

I looked in the help file, and it says that the kernel source needs to be in "/lib/modules/2.6.3-7mdk/build"
I looked, and there is no build folder, so I made one, but that doesn't help...

I was wondering how I can get the source code into that file, or if I am completely wrong, how to make this stuff work!

Thanks

When you installed, did you tell it to install the kernel source?

I have no idea, I just told it to do the defaults (expept used my partition)
Is there any way to install this (without reinstalling the OS)

Does anyone know how to do this even if I do reinstall the OS?
