This is strange indeed. There are two ways to provide the stuff that
external kernel modules need to compile. The first (and easiest) would
be to point to the includes in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build so that the
kernel module can find the kernel includes it needs. Some kernel modules
(maybe ndiswrapper is one of them) need kernel headers they should not
be using and that means having a full source kernel tree, which is not
provided as a separate rpm any longer in fc3.
There are instructions in the fc3 release notes:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/os/RELEASE-NOTES-en.html
on how to go from a downloaded .src.rpm for the kernel to a full kernel
tree that should be usable for building recalcitrant modules, without
having to actually rebuild the kernel itself...
