You need to install the new modified kernel with the 16k stack via rpm See this url www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads-fc2-kernel-i686.php This is easy to do and ndiswrapper won't work with our it also go to this link for great information on installing ndiswrapper ... the fedora info is a bit screwed up. http://fedoranews.org/contributors/e_a_graham_jr/ndis/ This guy really has good info.. follow instructions carefully happy wlan-ing Johnny __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
