(when i removed my devise from pc then fedora started). same device works fine in XP.. and gets detected properly in fedora.. but it doesnt want to go on air.. what do i do? plz help me..

Welcome to LQ!

I would remove your current install of ndiswrapper, purge all the related files, and re-install using yum from Fedora respository. Any chance you installed ndiswrapper from some other source?

Are you running only Fedora or do you have Ubuntu on the same machine?

like pentode said, I would reinstall ndiswrapper.

i would also try running

depmod -a

before running

modprobe ndiswrapper

Whenever i configure ndiswrapper it goes something like this:

hope that helped...
