A better alternative would be to use the pre-rolled RPMS for 2115.nptl:
http://prism2.unixguru.raleigh.nc.us/v21-fc1-index.html

Or, if you're using 2140.nptl, you can use the ones I built myself (let
me know).  Lastly, you can rebuild from the src.rpm
(http://prism2.unixguru.raleigh.nc.us/kernel-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre14.src.rpm).  If you choose this route, I can give you the steps I went through to build them.
