Looking a bit further

Makefile says KERNEL_SOURCE=/usr/src/linux-2.6.9
but looking in my directory I don't seem to have anything there.
How do I install the kernel source?

I think I have the kernal source after doing an rpm command.

But the compile still seems to error on the command

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.25-14.fc9.i686/build SUBDIRS=/tmp/wireless/
linux/v1/Linux-Driver modules

make: Entering an unknown directory
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.25-14.fc9.i686/build: No such file or
directory. Stop.

build should be a symlink to your linux source directory. It's
normally created by the make modules_install step.
