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.

Neither yum nor yumex will work with Livna, can't find the mirrors for 
whatever reason. I've replaced the /etc/yum.repos.d/ files with what I 
saved from fc4 which did work. 

I have two computers, this Linux box that needs the wireless adapter 
installed and a Mac that needs the router attached and setup and I can't 
do anything because my basic tools don't work, very frustrating.

Can anyone provide me with a copy of the required yum configuration file 
that works and/or  "2.6.15-1.2054_FC5/build?"

Thanks.
