In reverse order: The message says you need to install _all_ the kernel
sources to build that driver. They're big, You needn't. Even though it's
easy!
You think it's installed a driver. Good. Use that.
Perhaps you need to fill in the config fields :) The system configuration
wizard in Mandrake should do that for you, hopefully.
If you want to go techie on this one, perhaps we should go off-list? I have
Mandrake 10 & 9.2 up & running here, so can tell you what should be in the
various boxes. Will check mail later.

PS, In Winders, this could be leading towards a re-install instead. Very sad.
