Hi all.
I am hoping that you will help me to fix this problem with configuring my wireless card.
I am trying to configure my wireless Netgear card on Sony Vaio PCG-FX501 running FC4. I downloaded and installed a 16k kernel kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.stk16.i686, seems successfully. I also installed ndiswrapper v1.23 and a wireless card driver (wg511v2 for my card). When I run 'modprobe ndiswrapper' I did not get any error messages and the light on my card is flashing. So, this part seems to be fine.

I also installed wireless_tools.28. When I type 'iwlist wlan0 scan' I get :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning: Driver for device wlan0 recommend version 18 of Wireless Extension, but has been compiled with version 17, therefore some driver features may not be available...

wlan0 Scan completed :
.... here it prints correct info with a correct ESSID ...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I type 'iwconfig' I get :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lo no wireless extension
eth0 no wireless extension
sit0 no wireless extension
Warning: Driver for device wlan0 recommend version 18 of Wireless Extension, but has been compiled with version 17, therefore some driver features may not be available...
iwconfig: symbol lookup error: iwconfig: undefined symbol: iw_sawap_ntop
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basically, it does not print any info about wlan0.

dmesg prints the following:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ndiswrapper version 1.23 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no)

wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP; TKIP with WPA
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How can I configure my wireless card?

See this post for the identical problem:

The solution was to revert ndiswrapper to an earlier version, 1.1.

Thanks!
It seems to be working now!
