Re: where to start to set up wireless?

My suggestion is to go buy a SMC 2632W 802.11b card. Fedora supports it out of the box and be done with it...

You'll need to substitute whatever drivers your card needs instead of
the drivers used in the example, once you start the make process
you'll need to reference the location of the win32 drivers. have a
look at the INSTALL or README (can't remember which) that is in the
same directory where you extracted the ndiswrapper tarball to.

If you need to setup the NDIS wrapper also check out

Thanks for the pointer. I have (as expected) run into a problem that I barely understand. Naturally I have no idea how to proceed.

The instruction:

   * verify the utils were installed:
         o whereis loadndisdriver ndiswrapper wlan_radio_averatec_5110hx

does not produce the expected output. In fact, I first tried 'make rpm' and it
complained "RPM build errors: File not
found: /usr/sbin/wlan_radio_averatec_5110hx" and sure enough, 'make install'
also seems to be completely missing this file.

[root@localhost ndiswrapper-0.10]# whereis loadndisdriver ndiswrapper
wlan_radio_averatec_5110hx
loadndisdriver: /sbin/loadndisdriver
ndiswrapper: /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper /usr/share/man/man8/ndiswrapper.8
wlan_radio_averatec_5110hx:

Questions: what the heck is wlan_radio_averatec_5110hx, why would I need it
(my laptop is compaq, not averatec, and these instructions look to be
generic, not brand specific), should it have been present in the ndis file,
in my FC2 distro or what, and how can I find it?

sigh.
