The kernel-devel rpm is on the distro.  All I had to
do was select the
development packages and it installed it for me.

     kernel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.x86_64.rpm
     kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.x86_64.rpm
are both on the install DVD.

*** That's an x86_64 DVD, I used the i386 CD and it was no where to be found either on the FC5T3 or the FC5 GA distro.

Has anyone gotten NetworkManager or the network gui
applet to recognize wlan0 usin ndiswrapper?

I can manage wlan0 fine in cli, but not the nice gui
tools. So I think its not an ndiswrapper of
wireless-tools problem.

No.  IMHO it is busted.  It worked in FC4 and FC5T3, but not in FC5.

I had to go to my FC4 partition and copy the files in /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts manually into the FC5 partition. Then everything worked like a charm. I don't know where the responsibility for creating these files lies.

I used to be able to 1) install and configure ndiswrapper, 2) bring up the interface from CLI, 3) run system-config-network, 4) disable eth0 at startup (just gets rid of a boot time "FAILED" message), 5) configure and enable wlan0 at startup, and 6) reboot. Not any more :-(
