OK, hopefully you'll be able to extract the exe file without requiring Windows to do it. Try opening with ark once you've downloaded.

 

Once you've started to configure and install ndiswrapper, wlan0 should appear as a device.

You need to install your kernel-source. At the prompt type:

 

urpmi kernel-source

 

you'll get a list of about 3 kernel sources to install. Don't install the stripped or the other one, just install the one something like kernel-source.2.6.12.12 or along those lines.

 

The run the make command after this.

ok heres what i got,i guess i should just choose yes

 

You guessed wrong (urpmi too, most likely because the urpmi repositories are either incomplete, or outdated, or finally both of the above...).

Just update them ( say via easyurpmi ) before attempting anything!

kernel-source 2.4.27-something is totally irrelevant to your running kernel, just install the kernel-source package that matches your running kernel.

If you chose yes, remove the existing kernel source using:

 

urpme kernel-source

 

then, click easy-urpmi at the top of the page, and choose all options add them all, and try again.

I'm not sure I follow what you mean. Run this command on your machine:

 

[root@europa ian]# urpmq --list-media
Installation Free DVD (cdrom1)
plf-free
plf-nonfree
updates
main
contrib
jpackage

 

as you can see from the above, this is the media I have configured for my machine. Everything, except the "Installation Free DVD" is added using the easy-urpmi link at the top of this page.
