802.11g madness

Am I sensing a little frustration? lol. Your situation has a very easy
fix. "yum install kernel-devel" should fix all that ails your compile
problems (other than missing packages of course). You don't need a full
kernel source tree. If you want one, that's easy enough too. It explains
it all on the release notes--->
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc4/
and for an easy place to find the kernel src rpms for the different
kernels, find them here---->
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/SRPMS/
Let me know if you still have trouble compiling after installing the
kernel-devel package.
