You need the kernel SRPM installed to get all the c source files. Since Fedora kernels already have a recent mac80211 in them, depending on what you want to achieve you may be better off either - skipping trying to cook mac80211 at all (I guess this is from iwlwifi) - using the latest Fedora development kernel with yum --enablerepo development update kernel - or using the wireless-dev git with git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-dev.git and copying over /boot/config- as .config in there so you will be working with the most recent mac80211 all the time. -Andy
