Can "yum" work on Enterprise Unbreakble Linux or is there another option?

Yum being the package manager for ndiswrapper implies that if you use yum then ndiswrapper will install the drivers for you utilizing the system using the necessary resources. However yum didn't work for me therefore I tried to use ndiswrapper without using yum and got 2 warnings and 1 fatal error as shown below:
I downloaded ndiswrappers version 1.47.
I typed "su -c 'yum install kmod-ndiswrapper'"
the response was:
"setting up install process"
"setting up repositories"
however the error message was:
"cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: update"
Therefore I didn't use yum and proceeded as follows
1)created a directed named "ndiswrapper_drivers"
2)tar -zxvf ndiswrapper-1.47.tar.gz
3)make uninstall
4)make distclean
5)make
6)make install
NOTE: this gave two warnings:
a)'task_nice': (/ndiswrapper_drivers/ndiswrapper-1.47/ndiswrapper.ko) undefined!
b)this kernel seems to use 4k stack size option(CONFIG_4KSTACKS): many Windows dirver will not work with the option enabled . Disable CONFIG_4KSTACKS option recompile and install kernel
NOTE:Windows config file format changed since 1.5 you must reinstall windows driver if they wre installed before
7)ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
(driver now installed)
8)ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.sys
(driver already installed)
9)ndiswrapper -l
(driver now present)
10)demod -a
11)modprobe ndiswrapper
FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.9-55.0.0.0.2ELsmp/misc/ndiswrapper.ko); unknown symbol in module or unknown parameter.
The error file ndiswrapper.0 file in step 11 seems to be the same error file in ndiswrapper.k0 file after step 6.
How can I get "yum" to work or how do I resolve these problems with respect to the 2 warinings and the fatal error?
