Thanks everyone for all the info. I seem to have this unquenchable desire to master Linux so the random questions continue. Well after reading around and finding people who used ndiswrapper with my same wireless card and having no problems, I tried that option. So here's the deal. I get the compressed file, decompress it, install it, no problems. then I try and use it and here is where I run into problems. The instructions say to upload the windows driver using ndiswrapper -i drivername.inf. So I do this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ndiswrapper-1.8]$ ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf and get this: bash: ndiswrapper: command not found So am I in the wrong directory or something? I tried it as root too but got the same problem. The instructions don't say that I need to change directories. Anywho, I have the same problem if I try and run iwconfig. What am I doing wrong? I also tried running that yum command that tuxgirl gave me for the kernel update thingy. Here is what I got: [EMAIL PROTECTED] zak]# yum install kernel-module-ndiswrapper-$(uname -r) Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories updates-released 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 398 kB 00:04 updates-re: ################################################## 1161/1161 Added 1161 new packages, deleted 0 old in 17.71 seconds primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 1.0 MB 00:30 extras : ################################################## 2996/2996 Added 2996 new packages, deleted 0 old in 33.40 seconds primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 824 kB 00:03 base : ################################################## 2772/2772 Added 2772 new packages, deleted 0 old in 26.44 seconds Parsing package install arguments No Match for argument: kernel-module-ndiswrapper-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 Nothing to do This last part makes me wonder if something went wrong, maybe someone out there can decipher it.
