I have nothing special loaded except those items specified by the ndiskwrapper page for configuration. modprobe.conf contains alias wlan0 ndiswrapper options ndiskwrapper if_name=wlan0 (Note that with these two lines you can give the adapter any interface name you choose. I left it at default.) /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/wlan0 contains DEVICE=wlan0 IPV6INIT=no ONBOOT=no USERCTL=yes PEERDNS=yes GATEWAY= TYPE=Wireless BOOTPROTO=dhcp HWADDR= NETMASK= DHCP_HOSTNAME=my.preferred.hostname IPADDR= DOMAIN= ESSID=myessidname MODE=Managed I am using WEP encryption so I also have /etc/sysconfig/network- scripts/keys-wlan0 which contains a single line with KEY=<the 26 digit key that matches the key in my access point> ndiswrapper loads at boot, and the card is activated as soon as I plug it in. It has worked flawlessly since I installed ndiswrapper with the windows drivers for that card. The machine was freezing with the stock kernel, but I installed the 16k kernel from linuxant and that stopped the freeze issue. Full configuration information was available from the ndiswrapper page and it worked on first try. YMMV
