Hi ;
I 'm going to install my wifi card driver on Fedora 13 which runs on a HP G42 laptop. I got the driver from the ralinktech.com website and started to build but I don't understand some of it .bellow I include some line of the readme file which comes with the driver :

There used to be a binary build of this ready-made in the rpmfusion repository for Fedora. As Fedora 13 is no longer supported, it doesn't appear in their lists. It might still be downloadable/installable (as kmod-rt2860) if you add that repository to your system.

As it no longer appears in there for the current supported distributions (Fedora 15 and 16) I assume the drivers are now part of the standard Kernel distributions. I've certainly seen reference to built-in support in the latest version of Ubuntu. Perhaps a better solution would just be to upgrade to a currently supported version of Fedora?
