I wouldn't have a problem buying another one then. by no means fully complete or bulletproof: 0) be root (sudo su -) 1) Make sure kernel devel is installed for your kernel (and the build utilities) (run 'rpm -q kernel kernel-devel') 2) download latest ndiswrapper 'curl http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-1.3rc1.tar.gz | tar xzv' cd ndiswrapper-1.3rc1 make rpm then (for me with a minipci card): rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/ndiswrapper-1.3rc1-1.i386.rpm /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/kernel-module-ndiswrapper-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4-1.3rc1-1.i386.rpm ndiswrapper -i (your ini file) ndiswrapper -l (check for 'driver present, hardware present') ndiswrapper -m ndiswrapper -hotplug (you may want to run 'kudzu' here or just reboot, but don't configure the device - you just want system-config-network to be aware of it) then run system-config-network, create a new wireless connection, select the newly shown card, configure to your liking, enjoy. -dave -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
