I have ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant installed and configured via
a /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file such that I can make a wireless
connection with...
/sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper
/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -Dndiswrapper -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d
I end up with what appears to be a usable interface according to ifconfig
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:66:F2:57:50

however I am having a lot of trouble getting the network scripts to work.
I have made the following changes to in /etc/sysconfig/network...

I then created a ifcfg-wlan0 file in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices
with...
WPA=yes
WPA_CONFIG=/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
WPA_DRIVER=ndiswrapper
TYPE=Wireless
DEVICE=wlan0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
and a keys-wlan0 with the WPA-SPK key. However whenever I do a
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wireless I get errors about...
Error : unrecognised wireless request "any"
Are there any clear instructions on how to do this for FC4? I am
using the RT2500 driver for a WRT54-G. Thanks in advance.
