Installing driver in linux redhat... what am I doing wrong?

I am trying to install this driver: http://www.asus.com/support/download...58.zip~zaqwedc hoping it will correct my problem with my ethernet card. I am following the instructions in the text file that came with download...

it says to rpm -ivh bcm5700-<version>.src.rpm
so I "cd /mnt/cdrom1/Linux/Driver" to get to the directory that contains the file, then I "rpm -ivh bcm5700-2.2.34-1.src.rpm"

I get this error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/sources"

What am I doing wrong?

QUERYING SPEC FILES: rpmspec {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options] SPEC_FILE ... select-options [--rpms] [--srpms] query-options [--qf,--queryformat QUERYFMT] [--target TARGET_PLATFORM] QUERY OPTIONS The general form of an rpm spec query command is rpm {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options] You may specify the format that the information should be printed in. To do this, you use the --qf|--queryformat QUERYFMT option, followed by the QUERYFMT format string. See rpm(8) for details.

popt(3), rpm(8), rpmdb(8), rpmkeys(8), rpmsign(8), rpm2cpio(8), rpmbuild(8), rpmspec --help - as rpm supports customizing the options via popt aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the manual matches what's available. http://www.rpm.org/ <URL:http://www.rpm.org/> AUTHORS
