I am trying to setup my wireless card in linux and ive come to this bit in the manual but i cant find /usr/src/linux-2.4
Where is it?
"4) Go to Linux Kernel directory, such as /usr/src/linux-2.4
5) Run the command [...linux-2.4]# make menuconfig "

There should be a /usr/src/linux which is a symbolic link to /usr/src/linux-2.4.whatever. If this does not exist, you don't have the kernel source installed.
To rectify this, you should be able to find it on your installation CDs.
Easy way: Start up your rpm manager (probably rpmdrake if you are using mandrake) and do a search for "kernel" and it should come back with a kernel-source-2.4.blah.blah-mdk.....install that, it will prompt you for the correct CD.
Longer way: Search your CDs for the rpm file # find /mnt/cdrom -name 'kernel*.rpm' Once you have found it, install it # rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/path/to/kernel-source-2.4.blah.blah.rpm
