This is a new FC-5 installation  and perhaps not configured for the
required repositories?

I did download a tarred" copy which I can install if there's no RPM.

This is part of an effort to install a Linksys WMP54G "wireless" adapter.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you.

It is in the livna repository, so install/enable that repo and you will be able to install it from rpm. I installed it both ways on a laptop trying a similar thing and it worked the same either way, but I think it is good to use an rpm whenever possible.

I am going from bad to worse! I can't "make" ndiswrapper from the tar because it wants "2.6.15-1.2054_FC5/build" which I don't seem to have and/or can't find.

Do you have the kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 package installed?

Neither yum nor yumex will work with Livna, can't find the mirrors for whatever reason.

Did you follow the livna installation instructions at http://rpm.livna.org/configuration.html ?

It would be a good idea to boot with the errata kernel package if you're trying to install non-GPL kernel modules - see the bottom of http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/FC5Common
