Hello, aaaaaarko. Can you post all output from ./configure through make install, to pastebin and provide a link to it here? Your problem likely is occurring before make install.

Did you build the driver? Also, besides the driver, you need the firmware.

Please find the output of the command

[root@localhost hybrid-portsrc_x86_32-v5_100_82_38.tar.gz_FILES]# ./configure && make
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

when i run make

[root@localhost hybrid-portsrc_x86_32-v5_100_82_38.tar.gz_FILES]# make

Did you read this?

It says Fedora already has a pre-compiled version installable with the fedora package manager which is YUM. I highly recommend you install it that way instead of trying to compile from source.
