I am using ndiswrapper on FC4. Some network card drivers require more than 4k of memory to be able to use the network card. The FC kernels only allow 4k drivers to be loaded. This is written on the ndiswrapper website. I currently use a Dell TrueMobile 1350 wireless network card which works in the 4k space. If your network card requires more space to work you may only get a card that doesn't work at all or a card that lights up the lights but doesn't make a connection. You will have to recompile your kernel so that it doesn't limit the driver size to 4k. The ndiswrapper site used to have kernels for FC that had different limits in a RPM format for quick install. Otherwise once you have the ndiswrapper compiled and installed, have to add the network adapter using the -i switch, and the -m switch to add it to modprobe.conf (I think). Then use the Network utility in Gnome to add a wireless network adapter and pick the ndiswrapper network card. Then you can setup any ssid, wep, and other settings you need. Activate the card and it works.
