The wlan0 device is not being created. I had a similar problem and I had to add the following to modprobe.conf to get it to create the device automatically. alias wlan0 ndiswrapper options ndiswrapper if_name=wlan0 I think I found those instructions somewhere in the ndiswrapper documentation, but I don't have that on the top of my head. Note that I have an AirLink card with the broadcom chipset, and on my laptop I did have to use the 16K stack kernel from http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads-fc3-i686.php then compile ndiswrapper against that kernel (to fix the lock-up problem I had with the 4K stack kernel that comes with Fedora.)
