It seems to me I read that yum provides ndiswrapper but I have met with

since it lists available RPM's. Nothing there either.
This is a new FC-5 installation and perhaps not configured for the
required repositories?
I did download a tarred" copy which I can install if there's no RPM.
This is part of an effort to install a Linksys WMP54G "wireless"
adapter.
Any help appreciated.
Thank you.

Available Packages
ndiswrapper.i386 1.10-2.lvn5 livna
It is in the livna repository, so install/enable that repo and you
will be able to install it from rpm. I installed it both ways on a
laptop trying a similar thing and it worked the same either way, but I
think it is good to use an rpm whenever possible.

I am going from bad to worse! I can't "make" ndiswrapper from the tar
because it wants "2.6.15-1.2054_FC5/build" which I don't seem to have
and/or can't find.
Do you have the kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 package installed?
Neither yum nor yumex will work with Livna, can't find the mirrors for
whatever reason.
Did you follow the livna installation instructions at
http://rpm.livna.org/configuration.html ?
It would be a good idea to boot with the errata kernel package if you're
trying to install non-GPL kernel modules - see the bottom of
