First thing. Why are the drivers in /temp? You're not running your
system as root are you? If you are, you really shouldn't be. The idea of
root/su is for purely admin activities and never for just general use.

You need to install kernel-devel (yum -y install kernel-devel).

Next, get the driver and as a *non-root* user, dearchive and build. Once
built, su (enter root password) make install.

NEVER USE A SYSTEM AS ANYTHING OTHER THAN A USER!

I hope that is clear enough. I shall now return you to your scheduled
programming...

TTFN
