You need to install the kernel-devel package.  For some reason this wasn't
included in the FC5 cd's or dvd.  If you have networking on the machine
run "yum install kernel-devel".

If keep a yum repository of ndiswrapper builds for Fedora Core 5 at
http://womensfooty.com/fedora/core/5  if you just want to grab precompiled
rpms.
