Have your tried Ndiswrapper? What seems to be the problem ?

[cleus]

I tried using ndiswrapper and when I try to complie the package it gives an error message saying something about kernel or something to theat effect..

Please post the exact message and maybe we can be able to help you better.

To compile any packages you will need the kernel-devel package for your kernel. The easiest way to accomplish this is to open a terminal window and type su - (that is a SU Dash) with that you should be at the root prompt # Now type: yum install kernel-devel, once completed go back and compile the ndiswrapper module.
