There is a tutorial on setting up ndiswrapper on Fedora:

you have configured yum to use the livna repository (which does contain
the ndiswrapper packages) as explained in
http://fedoramobile.org/solved/post-install-solutions/yum-config/ .
I have very mixed feelings about using Windows drivers for much of
anything, perhaps too many urban legends about an IRQ coming in while the
driver is running in a privileged mode. There are new Broadcom drivers
coming in the future, but at the rate I see progress that might be after
the stock market gets back to 14000. :-(
An alternate solution, which I'm using, is to buy a USB wireless modem
and use that. Clearly not the optimal solution, but one which avoids the
issues with running NDIS drivers.
Which USB modem do you like?
I have had mixed results and some still require ndiswrapper or other tricks.
Sorry for the slow reply, I use a Linksys WUSB54C (that's all the info in lsusb,
nothing on the invoice, package nong recycled). If I were using ndiswrapper I
could use the built-in Broadcom b4310, but I'd rather not, at least for now.
