trouble installing ndiswrapper in fc6

Hi there - installed FC6 at the weekend and I'm trying to get my wireless card to work. After some reading up I realised i needed to install ndiswrapper, but I can't seem to get it to install - here's the problems I encounter:

[root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.43]# make
make -C driver
make[1]: Entering directory `/media/MAIN/Linux Drivers/ndiswrapper-1.43/driver'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/build SUBDIRS=/media/MAIN/Linux Drivers/ndiswrapper-1.43/driver
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i586'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `Drivers/ndiswrapper-1.43/driver'. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i586'

[root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.43]# make install
make -C driver install
make[1]: Entering directory `/media/MAIN/Linux Drivers/ndiswrapper-1.43/driver'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/build SUBDIRS=/media/MAIN/Linux Drivers/ndiswrapper-1.43/driver
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i586'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `Drivers/ndiswrapper-1.43/driver'. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i586'

make: *** [install] Error 2

I have about a million other things to install, but most guides I see use yum and as far as I know yum uses the internet to install updates (?). I'm a COMPLETE newbie trying to learn to use Linux so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ive read a thread on about anaconda installing the wrong kernal, but I don't know if this is my problem or how to amend it without an internet connection in Fedora. I have to boot into WinXP to read up on stuff.

Thanks in advance
