Hey everyone,

I just recently converted over to linux and I need some help!!! I am trying to install ndiswrapper to use for my wpc11 v4 Linksys card.

Here is the error message I am getting:

[root@localhost bhb]# cd ndiswrapper-0.7
[root@localhost ndiswrapper-0.7]# make install
make -C driver install
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/bhb/ndiswrapper-0.7/driver'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/build SUBDIRS=/home/bhb/ndiswrapper-0.7/driver DRV_VERSION=0.7 modules

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bhb/ndiswrapper-0.7/driver'

Since I have no idea what this means could someone point me in the right direction in getting this card to work!!!!

Thanks
