Trying to install the driver for my bcm4311 wireless card, I've downloaded the driver package from

and followed the instructions in the readme file, untared it in the directory hybrid_wl. When I try to build the LKM using # make -C/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/build M='pwd' I get the error message make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/build: No such file or directory.  Stop. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong please?

First make sure you have the kernel-devel package that *matches* your running kernel.

Then try:

make -C/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M='pwd'
