Fresh install of FC6. Trying to get wireless working. Went to serialmonkey and got the latest rt2500 driver...b4. Got the kernel-devel package off the iso disc and unpacked it. I rebooted the machine.
I then run make which fails with the following error right off the bat:
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen/build: No such file or directory.
rt2500.ko failed to build!
uname -r
2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen
rpm -q kernel-devel
2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
rpm -q gcc
gcc-4.1.1-30
When I go into the /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen/ folder I see (briefly) a broken link file to build and source. I don't know how to investigate those further as they disappear once I click on them for info.
Any clues on how to get past this make problem ?
Note: with the wireless not working, I do not have internet access on the linux machine - so I can't perform direct downloads. If there is something I need off of the fc6 ISO image discs I can get them off there - provided I know what to get and from where. :>)
Thanks for any help.

Hmm I think you have the wrong kernel-devel package. Try `yum install kernel-xen-devel`. If it installs it, then looks at the /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen/ directory and see if the build link is still broken. If it is, then:
cd /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen/
ln -s -T build /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen
Then try to compile again
edit: sorry, you said you don't have direct internet access so you can't use "yum install". Download kernel-xen-devel here:
