My ]$ uname -r -m is. 2.6.17-1.2139_FC5.stk16smp i686
what's with the stk16 ? At any rate, you need the packages it told you need above. Install them with yum.
stk16 is the 16k Kernel Stack from http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads-fc5-kernel-i686.php
I downloaded all that yum would download and I am still getting this:
Please ignore the people who blindly tell you to use YUM without actually reading what you are asking.
Anyways, the solution should be there on the website you have listed above: Development (SMP) kernel-smp-devel-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5.stk16.i686.rpm.zip 3.8M (or Development kernel-devel-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5.stk16.i686.rpm.zip 3.8M) This looks to be the file it requires the "kernel-devel" package includes a reduced portion of the kernel source: the kernel headers. This is required to build drivers against the kernel you wish to use.
