Fedora Core 5/ ndiswrapper / wireless trouble
 

Alright, I was orginally running debian distro, and although wasn't that hard to use I didn't like it that much because of some reason, i didn't have any trouble setting up ndiswrapper on debian anyways.

I setup fedora core 5 I really enjoy the feel of it so I want to use it.

anyways

I added the livna repo, did yum install ndiswrapper and it installed. (i am very new to linux so these auto installers are a big help)

I followed the directions as best I could anyways I installed ndiswrapper installed my windows drivers bcmwl5.inf and modprobe ndiswrapper, ndiswrapper -m

still the light on my intergrated wireless won't turn on, and fedora doesn't seem to regonize it as wireless so i can't get any sort of connection through the wireless

I am using a HP Pavilion ze4908us model, sound, touch pad, keyboard, wired ethernet works but i can't get this damn wireless to work, and it worked fine in debian.

Any sort of idea's would be great, Not sure what information to provide so I guess i'll just shoot out the basic
