Hi, A convert to Linux only yesterday. trashed my old HDD, bought a new one and installed Fedora core 6. Love the GUI and having fun. Earlier i had Netgear Wireless PCI Adapter WG311v3 card. How to install Ndiswrapper, and make my card work again. Must have my daily dose of internet or will go crazy. Tons of info on the net. How to, where to go ? Sheer luck i got into this forum !!!

Install the "livna" respository for yum first :

Code:

rpm -Uvh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm

then install ndiswrpper as so:

Code:

yum install ndiswrapper

then look here to work out how to use it. You can skip the installation/compilation steps.

Changed my OS from fc6 to mandriva 2007. My wifi works like a dream. A big load off my back. Thanks for the info.
