Hi All,

For the past few days I have been struggling to get Linux (SLED 10) to recognize my wireless card.
I follow the instructions to install the Linux driver available from the http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/supp-1.htm website and get the following output:

I thought that this might mean the kernel source is not up to date or different than that of my installed version. When I type "rpm -i kernel-source-2.6.16.21-0.25.src.rpm " nothing happens. Does this mean my kernel source is up to date? I've tried ndiswrapper and linuxant. linuxant worked the best...but the network is unstable. When the network crashes I cannot even access my wired network.

Thanks for looking this over.
