hey,
i am on FC5. i set up the drivers for my wireless card with ndiswrapper. I am now trying to connect to my wireless network but i am getting this message:

Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04):
SET failed on device wlan0; Invalid argument.

Determining IP information for wlan0...dhclient
(1647) is already running - exiting.

this is cause you'll need to update wireless tools

what shows

Code:

ndiswrapper -l

and did you issued the command

Code:

ndiswrapper -m

so that it's written to modeprobe.conf

what shows dmesg|tail

heres what the outputs were:

[root@localhost eric]# /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -l
Installed drivers:
bcmw15 invalid driver!
bcmw15 driver installed, hardware present
[root@localhost eric]# /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -m
Adding "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" to /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper

alright, well i couldnt get the bcmw15 invalid driver! off so i completely reinstalled FC5. I did so with KDE instead of gnome this time. i got the bcmwl5 driver working but when i go to the Network Configuration and try to add a new device. it askes which wireless card i want to use and all that is there is "Other Wireless Card"
