thanks for the help, one more problem.. well i will let you see it

Quote:
[root@localhost Desktop]# /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -v
module version is too old!
utils version: '1.9', utils version needed by module: '0'
module details:
filename: /lib/modules/2.6.20-1.2952.fc6/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko
version: 1.44
vermagic: 2.6.20-1.2952.fc6 SMP mod_unload 586 4KSTACKS

You may need to upgrade driver and/or utils to latest versions available at
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net

im not sure if i need to reinstall ndiswrapper or grab the latest files for the drivers
