Thanks for the pointer. I have (as expected) run into a problem that I barely 
understand. Naturally I have no idea how to proceed.

The instruction:

    * verify the utils were installed:
          o whereis loadndisdriver ndiswrapper wlan_radio_averatec_5110hx

does not produce the expected output. In fact, I first tried 'make rpm' and it 
complained "RPM build errors: File not 
found: /usr/sbin/wlan_radio_averatec_5110hx" and sure enough, 'make install' 
also seems to be completely missing this file.

[root@localhost ndiswrapper-0.10]# whereis loadndisdriver ndiswrapper 
wlan_radio_averatec_5110hx
loadndisdriver: /sbin/loadndisdriver
ndiswrapper: /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper /usr/share/man/man8/ndiswrapper.8
wlan_radio_averatec_5110hx:

Questions: what the heck is wlan_radio_averatec_5110hx, why would I need it 
(my laptop is compaq, not averatec, and these instructions look to be 
generic, not brand specific), should it have been present in the ndis file, 
in my FC2 distro or what, and how can I find it?

sigh.
