I'm not sure if is because of settings, but the Network applet(system-config-network) doesn't seem to be able to connect. In FC4 I build ndiswrapper from source each time I upgraded my kernel. This time I pulled ndiswrapper from livna. I don't know if building from source would work the same as in FC4; might have to try it. For now, NetworkManager or iwconfig is functionable. ╔══╗ ║ j≈ ╚══╝ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
