Hi folks. I've got set up on my laptop WIFI using ndiswrapper installed by RPM and alls been working fine. When I want to go wireless I run the script below. However, since I've run a 'yum update' which included a new kernel and the dependency of the ndiswrapper rpm it's stopped working. ndiswrapper loads with no errors, but does not create a network device. The driver says it's loaded fine and detected the hardware. [root@dcomp5 ~]# ndiswrapper -l Installed drivers: neta3ab driver installed, hardware present [root@dcomp5 ~]# The install worked fine, and the rpm -qa shows: [root@dcomp5 ~]# rpm -qa|grep kernel kernel-2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 kernel-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4 kernel-module-ndiswrapper-2.6.14-1.1637_FC4-1.5-0.lvn.1.4 kernel-2.6.15-1.1830_FC4 kernel-2.6.16-1.2069_FC4 kernel-module-ndiswrapper-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4-1.8-0.lvn.1.4 kernel-doc-2.6.16-1.2069_FC4 kernel-2.6.14-1.1637_FC4.stk16 kernel-module-ndiswrapper-2.6.16-1.2069_FC4-1.13-1.1.lvn4 [root@dcomp5 ~]# uname -a Linux dcomp5.ringways.co.uk 2.6.16-1.2069_FC4 #1 Tue Mar 28 12:19:10 EST 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [root@dcomp5 ~]# This is the script I run.
