Hi, there, I apologize in advance for making a duplicate post on the Linux - Networking forum. I didn't realize you had a forum specifically for wireless networking. (If the moderators want to delete the other one, feel free).

'm trying to get ndiswrapper to load the WUSB54G drivers.

It says it's version 2. I downloaded off the internet today on a new
Fedora 4 machine, running in root.

ndiswrapper -i WUSB54GV2.inf OK
ndiswrapper -l: Installed NDIS drivers WUSB54GV2 driver present
depmod -a OK
modprobe ndiswrapper OK

/etc/ndiswrapper has an inf file in a subdirectory OK. It contains 3
files: 13B1:000A:0conf, wusb54gv2.inf, wusbgxp.sys,

However, dmesg shows these messages: (see below) . Also, I did NOT see
the message ndiswrapper: driver 'wusb54g' added. The instructions says
to unplug and reconnect, which I did. Same basic messages

(Also, the instructions says to look at syslog. I'm looking at
/var/log/ Is there a specific file I need to consult for more detailed
logging?)

A few thoughts: would having a 64bit processor incompatibility be a
real problem? (I have an AMD 64 bit processor). Aren't they supposed
to be backward compatible? Is it possible tha t I have a v4 adaptor
and not a v2 adaptor? Any other ideas?
