    Fedora core 6 kernel help

    im trying to run ndiswrapper to setup my wireless network card, but im stuck. i can unpack the file but get the following when i go to make.



    [Boblet@localhost ndiswrapper-1.28]$ make
    make -C driver
    make[1]: Entering directory `/home/Boblet/Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.28/driver'
    Can't find kernel build files in /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen/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/Boblet/Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.28/driver'
    make: *** [all] Error 2

    ive downloaded what i think is my kernel source code (2.6.18?) but i dont know where to put it to make the build file link work? any help much appreciated

    if you installed your kernel-source (rpm if redhat) it will put the files to /usr/src/linux .

    If you didnt already do so, create a symlink as described in the ndiswrapper wiki.

    bash: 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6: No such file or directory
