Hey Andy,
I to am stuck trying to get my wireless working as well. It looks like Iam one step ahead of you. I am also trying to compile the same driver.This is where I have gotten so far:
********************************************************************************[root@localhost hybrid_wl]# make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.7.1.el5/build M=`pwd`make: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-128.7.1.el5-x86_64'  CC [M]  /home/ferrell/Downloads/hybrid_wl/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.oIn file includedfrom /home/ferrell/Downloads/hybrid_wl/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c:33:/home/ferrell/Downloads/hybrid_wl/src/include/typedefs.h:83: error:conflicting types for ‘bool’include/linux/types.h:36: error: previous declaration of ‘bool’ was heremake[1]: *** [/home/ferrell/Downloads/hybrid_wl/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.o]Error 1make: *** [_module_/home/ferrell/Downloads/hybrid_wl] Error 2make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-128.7.1.el5-x86_64'[root@localhost hybrid_wl]# 
*********************************************************************************
>From what I can see you need to check the kernel entry in your commandline. Also have you upgraded to the newer kernel? I did somethingsimilar. I somehow got a mix of new kernel headers and source, but theolder kernel was still running. I also have a broken symbolic link infor the /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.7.1.el5/build file. 
Once I got passed that issue, I ran into another. I had to install gcc. 
I used the command: yum install gcc*  and installed the packages.
Now I am getting the above error message: error: "conflicting types for‘bool’" & "previous declaration of ‘bool’ was here"
So once again I am stuck. If anyone out there has any ideas -- I'm allears.
Thanks,Ferrell
