LinuxQuestions.org - Ndiswrapper sees hardware, driver but will not modprobe

I am using Fedora Core 4 with NDISWRAPPER 1.16. I am also using a Belkin F5D6020 ver 3. (realtek) NIC with my 2Wire wireless gateway. NDISWRAPPER sees the driver installed, and the hardware present, but doing a modprobe ndiswrapper the link light does not turn on. The card is working as this works with M$ without a hitch.

Here is the output from ndiswrapper -l

Code:

[root@localhost network-scripts]# ndiswrapper -l

Installed drivers:

net8180        driver installed, hardware present

And a copy of the wlan0 config that ndiswrapper -m made:

Code:

[root@localhost network-scripts]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0

# Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt

# for the documentation of these parameters.

IPV6INIT=no

ONBOOT=no

USERCTL=no

PEERDNS=yes

GATEWAY=

TYPE=Wireless

DEVICE=wlan0

HWADDR=

BOOTPROTO=dhcp

NETMASK=

DHCP_HOSTNAME=

IPADDR=

DOMAIN=

ESSID=2WIRE736

CHANNEL=6

MODE=Auto

RATE=Auto

Now, I am also using WEP, but this should not prevent the light from turning on (or should it???) and the key is in a file called keys-wlan0.

Any suggestions?
