Hello folks,
I just finished installing Fedora 17. I migrated here because I no longer like using Ubuntu for reasons that are not relivant to this topic. As expected, my wifi card isn't recognized by Fedora which was the typical result after a clean Ubuntu install as well. No worries I figured, I have the manufactureres linux driver, I'll just go through the Make steps and install it just like before. Not so,
The driver in question is for a D-Link WDA-548 card and uses a Ralink 5392 chip. First and foremost, I had hardwire my pc to the router and install GCC using yum. Odd that gcc wasn't installed durring setup, it's kind of a staple to Linux. Anyway, this went smoothly untill I attempted to run make and got this error;
any thoughts?

Well It looks as though an update was all that was needed to get my wifi card up and running. no need to compile the driver from the manufacturer. Still troubling though. :dis:
