For whatever reason whenever I ran that command that you gave me it wouldn't install properly but once I rebooted my machine it actually worked. Im not sure why rebooting worked but Im happy that it does. So I ran I have started on my last few commands: [root@Whistler scripts]# modprobe ndiswrapper [root@Whistler scripts]# iwconfig wlan0 essid *** [root@Whistler scripts]# iwconfig wlan0 key **** [root@Whistler scripts]# dhcpcd wlan0 -bash: dhcpd: command not found So now I'm wondering did I type this command wrong?
