Believe it or not I had this same problem in the weekend - but Debian
instead of Mandrake. You need the kernel-headers installed to install
the driver. I suspect they'll be on your Mandrake installation disks
somewhere - try to search for a file called kernel-headers-2.6.3-7.rpm
or something like that (the numbers being your kernel version). If you
can find and install the headers I think it will work, otherwise you
could try installing the kernel-source, which you will definately have
on your installation disks.
