Fedora 15 kde - trying to install WLAN drivers on laptop

I've been struggling with this problem for about 7 or so hours across two days. I'm hoping you guys can help me.

I installed fedora 15 with the KDE desktop environment on my hp pavilion g6 1a44ca notebook.

wlan network drivers are not being detected. I typed in lspci into the terminal and found that my network controller is "Ralink Device 539f"

On another forum a user linked me to a linux Ralink driver

http://www.ralinktech.com/license_us...FUQT09Qw%3D%3D

I have it on my laptop however I don't know how to use it. I have tried using the make command in the terminal but it says there is nothing to make. there is a readme file, however I cannot seem to follow the instructions. I keep getting invalid directories in the terminal.

does anyone know how I can either use these files to install my wlan drivers or have another way to get a wifi connection on my laptop?

I have teamviewer if anyone would find it easier to do it themselves or tinker with it rather than to try explaining it to me.

Any help anyone can offer really will be appreciated
