Not sure I can help, but it may matter whether you're
running 64bit or 32 bit FC4?
I occasionally have to reboot my router. Also, I
sometimes, forget to put '0x' before my wep key when I
set it... in case you are using WEP.
btw, does ndiswraper -l say the device is preset and
does the radio button light up? and is the radio
button turned on? sometimes that can cause problems.
