D-Link DWL 520 Wireless card

[Sean Bruno]

Try "rpm -q -a|grep kernel"

Then look for the "kernel-source" rpm.

If it is not installed, run "yum -y install kernel-source" as root.

Then run "cp /usr/src/linux<whatever your kernel is>/configs/<your
kernel config> /usr/src/<whatever your kernel is>/.config

Then re-run the make and see if it works.
