I am trying to install ndiswrapper so that i can get my wireless card to work. But when i run the make command it tells me
make -C driver install
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/Tubbsey/Documents/ndiswrapper-1.53/driver'
Makefile:34: *** Cannot find kernel version in /usr/src/kernels/2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686, is it configured?. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Tubbsey/Documents/ndiswrapper-1.53/driver'
make: *** [install] Error 2
I installed the latest kernel, what else do I need to do?

Does /usr/src/kernels/2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 exist? If it does what does it say. It should have a version identifier somewhere very near the top.
If not then go browse around the fedora forums and wiki (why do they have them? .. sometimes I wonder *sigh*) and find out how to install the linux-kernel-headers and other chunks of things you will need to compile programs from source.

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=175240

Surely ndiswrapper is in the fedora repositories? .. is there any specific reason for trying to build it from source (which is a bloody nightmare and very very rarely works.. unless you really know about building bits of linux from pretty much scratch) like you are experimenting with an odd fedora build on an odd piece of hardware (in which case a n00b question like this wouldn't arise.. so I guess no)

With linux latest doesn't always mean best. (it actually usually means buggy and busted in some way and for the experienced people with lots of time on their hands to play with and fix). If you aren't experienced it's better to stay a step behind where other people have already worked it out and you can learn from them.

Again ... the sort of question which should be searched for on the appropriate distros forums instead of randomly posted at the bottom of afterdawn.. where the sun don't shine XD
I could tell you exactly how to solve the problem.. even as somebody who can't stand fedora.. but then you would learn nothing from the experience and be back at the next thing you can't be arsed to ask google. Welcome to linux world... brain required if not essential ;)
