[PlanetCCRMA] planetccrma FC5 recompiling kernel problem

[kelly]

i'm not sure you need to recompile the kernel if the sources match. i'd 
install the sources and then try making ndiswrapper again. it may just 
need certain headders from the sources. its worth a try. otherwise you 
have a day of configuring kernel compilation parameters ahead of you.
