Installing Programs Problem


Hi,
I just upgraded from Mandrake and I am having a few problems.

#1:
I used ndiswrapper with Mandrake to use my Truemobile 1300 wifi-card, so I tried installing it on Fedora. Everything seemed fine except that after the install, I could not use the ndiswrapper command from the terminal... I had to use ./ndiswrapper (in the terminal) in the folder where I extracted everything. This is the same for the wireless tools such as iwconfig and iwlist. Do I have to do something else that I did not need to do in Mandrake?

#2:
I cannot use some of the commands like dhclient or modprobe from the terminal. Pretty much the same problem as #1. Even when I am root I still cannot run these commands.

Thanks for the help.
