Hi all,
I'm trying to configure ndiswrapper on my acer aspire laptop under new fedora 11 release.
everything seems to be ok but no wireless device is detected by network manager.
Here the output of:
lsmod
ifconfig
iwconfig

# lsmod|grep ndis
ndiswrapper 155468 0

Rep:
And you loaded all the files from the Window$ driver used by ndiswrapper into it? I missed just one .sys file when I used ndiswrapper, and it messed me up completely
Have you configured your wireless settings in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf? I think you have to enter your ESSID and passphrase or WEP Key in this file. After doing that you have to do /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 wlan0_restart.
But for this your wlan0 interface must be up. Is your card being listed in lspci?

Sorry! My bad! This is the setup in Slackware. But now I see that you are using Fedora, and hence the contents of rc.d will be different. I am sorry I can't help you much as I haven't used Fedora and as such I am not aware of how to configure the wireless network on it.
