Problems Compiling RaLink's RT73 Linux Driver on FC6

uname -r:
2.6.20-1.2925.fc6

kernel packages:
kernel-devel-2.6.20-1.2925.fc6
kernel-2.6.20-1.2925.fc6
kernel-headers-2.6.20-1.2925.fc6

It seems that either the source code has one or two bugs and referencing none existent variables etc, or that it isn't referencing the kernel source /headers properly.

Any ideas on how I can resolve this ? Your thoughts would be appreciated.

(...I seem to be doomed where linux and wifi are concered.......

Thanks
