OK guys i was a good boy and got permissions.
1 ndiswrapper tells me driver installed----hardware present
2 ndiswrapper -m tells me [modprobe config already contains alias directive]
3 ndiswrapper -a tells me [module alias info is stored in/etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper then advises me to copy it to where udev expects it and configure udev] I NEED HELP WITH THIS ONE. and a step by step from this point to a wireless connection. I use broadband by a cable company and after connection everything works without my intervention{i think).No WEP

klasact,
I was given the same directions about udev. Guess what? I didn't do a thing with udev. Once I got to that point I'd like to say I was smart
and made everything work because I'm brilliant. But, I'm not brilliant so that tells me that it just magically worked from there.
Now, for getting online everytime you boot up you will need an 'ifcfg-wlan0' text file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. If you don't have one, here's mine:
DEVICE=wlan0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
METRIC=10
#MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no
WIRELESS_MODE=Managed
WIRELESS_ESSID=any
#NEEDHOSTNAME=yes
NETMASK=
DHCP_HOSTNAME=
IPADDR=
DOMAIN=
HWADDR=00:14:a5:69:2b:e7
USERCTL=yes
IPV6INIT=no
PEERDNS=yes
TYPE=Wireless
ESSID=
CHANNEL=1
MODE=Auto
RATE=Auto
Just copy that text into an editor of your choice and save it as 'ifcfg-wlan0' in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
This is a general script, or text file and I'm sure it can get fancier per your needs. Just do a search in these forums or google it
and look for 'ifcfg-wlan0' scripts and there may be something a little fancier but you may not need it. But just in case...
That should have your wlan0 fire up each time you boot into Linux.
Let us know if you need more assistance.
Have a great day!
