I'm not 100% sure on this, but could this be because you don't have kernel sources? I say that because of the lines: > make: Entering an unknown directory > make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/build: No such file or directory. Stop. make is looking for something that definitely isn't there. I had thought at first maybe permissions, but you are root. So that's not it. Another option you have, if you don't mind using some non-free software, is to use ndiswrapper. This is really a (good) patch more than a permanent solution. It can be found @ http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/ Basically what is does is lets you load the M$Windoz driver as a module. There is some configuration that you need to do, but it's not too difficult. The distro specific documentation is helpful on this.
