Dan: I'm a Linux blivet but I got my Linksys wireless card working with ndiswrapper. Below are my notes on how to set it up. Skip the wpa_supplicant part if you are using WEP. knute... Get packages required to compile and install software. yum install gcc openssl-devel kernel-devel Go to: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/Installation and follow instructions to extract, download, compile and install ndiswrapper. Get the Windows NDIS driver for your wireless card. With ndiswrapper -i lsbcmnds.inf install the driver. ndiswrapper -l to check installation. With ndiswrapper -m install the line, 'alias wlan0 ndiswrapper' in /etc/modprobe.conf. Go to: http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/ and get the latest wpa_supplicant. Copy the defconfig file to .config. Edit it to uncomment the CONFIG_DRIVER_NDISWRAPPER=y line and comment out all the other drivers. Compile wpa_supplicant and move the executables to /usr/sbin. Create the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file. ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant # for wpa_cli support network={ ssid="LEUPOLD" psk="somewhere over the rainbow" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK proto=WPA pairwise=TKIP group=TKIP } Add the following two lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local: /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -B -Dndiswrapper -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf /sbin/dhclient wlan0 > Help with wireless adaptor setup in FC4 > >I am having trouble geting my wireless adaptor ( DWL-G510 ) setup in >Fedora Core 4 X86_64. > It seems that I need a driver for it.
