Subject: Linux and wireless pluscom ZD1211B

Hello,

I'm new to Linux so prepare for stupid questions.
I'm trying to setup a PC with Linux and a wireless USB Pluscom ZD1211B
network stick.
I'm using Red Hat Fedora 9 freshly downloaded.
The fedora 9 seems to see the stick as a Zydas WLA-54L. But all I get
is
Set Mode 8B06
SET fail on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument
Determining IP information for wlan0 failed.

However the stick does come with a driver on a CD.
There seem to be two directories underneath the linux drivers
directory.
(directory v1) that has a Makefile curiously a windows setup program
and setup.ini file?
also a setup.inx? as well as a src directory below this.

(directory v2) that seems to have a compressed file that has some of
the v1 stuff.

Anyway basic question is what command do I need to install or compile
this?
There are no install instructions with it.

If I type make

I get

/lib/modules/2.6.25-14.fc9.i686/build: No such file or directory. Stop

Looking a bit further

Makefile says KERNEL_SOURCE=/usr/src/linux-2.6.9
but looking in my directory I don't seem to have anything there.
How do I install the kernel source?

I think I have the kernal source after doing an rpm command.

But the compile still seems to error on the command

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.25-14.fc9.i686/build SUBDIRS=/tmp/wireless/
linux/v1/Linux-Driver modules

make: Entering an unknown directory
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.25-14.fc9.i686/build: No such file or
directory. Stop.

build should be a symlink to your linux source directory. It's
normally created by the make modules_install step.
