    how do i install a config.mk file in fedora?

    I have a cd containing wifi drivers, but inside is a config.mk file and no configure file. so when I tried to install the tarball using ./configure it could nt find anything. so I tried using su - then I said sudo ./config.mk and it said bash error I don't have premission and it referenced the sudoers file. I not sure what this means, and am I even installing the right file for the driver I need. there is also already a Makefile in the folder as well....

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Did you try make configure?
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    Do you need the specific drivers on the CD for some reason? Most wifi cards not directly supported in the Fedora repos are supported in the RPMFusion repos. Just checking. If you use repo-based drivers, you'll get updates regularly (assuming your regularly update your system).
