Intel Wireless 2915abg on FC5

I'm a huge noob =), lookin for some help. I cannot get the wireless to work for the life on me on my thinkpad t42. So i've installed FC5 and gotten all the updates using yum (using kernel 2.6.16-1.2096). I've installed the firmware version 2.4 for the intel wireless. When i try to install the IEEE802 subsystem i get these errors

[root@localhost ieee80211-1.1.13]# make
/bin/sh: cc: command not found
Checking in /lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2096_FC5 for ieee80211 components...

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.16-1.2096_FC5-i686'
make: *** [modules] Error 2

w/o the IEEE80211 stuff, i can't install the driver.
any help to get this working would be much appreciated, thanks!

There is a version of the ieee80211 and the intel drivers already included in FC5. You don't need to install the 1.13 version of the ieee80211 unless you have some need

ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
ieee80211: 802.11 data/management/control stack, git-1.1.7
