You did not mention, which card you got. What does 'lspci' tell you
about the manufacturer and especially the chipset of the card ?
How did you determine, that you need the linux-wlan-ng ?

This is no information you obtain FROM your laptop, but questions you
are asked by the configure script, you started. It does not PROVIDE
you with info, but REQUEST info from you.

This is no question, you can answer with 'n' (no) or 'y' (yes). The
script asks for the directory, where your kernel source is stored. If
you enter 'y' here, it will try to find the kernel source in directory
/y . If you want to accept the default
([/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/build]), you just need to press enter.

Yeah. The easiest way to update your kernel would probably be to open
a terminal, and enter "yum update kernel" as root. Or use up2date.
