Hi tommy,

even i have the same situation,
being failed in using the rpm procedure which is given in the readme
with the broadcom driver , i tried with the tar procedure but after
untaring the tar file when i tried using make command it is throwing
me the same error kernel source tree not found.

i didnt use the rpm procedure .

there are no files in /usr/src/

no directories except one called debug ..no linux or redhat directory
inside /usr/src/

but

when i tried this

#rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-2.4.21-4.EL
kernel-utils-2.4.8.37
kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31.-13

do i need to link anything to /usr/src/ since it says kernel rpm is
available..Iam totally confused with this redhat.

Kindly help me out in this.
