ndiswrapper in FC 2?

blcvegas · 05-19-2004, 01:39 PM

I'm trying to get a wireless network card working with Fedora Core 1 and it's a challenge. I'll update to FC2 one of these days, but I'd be a lot more motivated if they had ndiswrapper already installed.

Anyone know if it's there?

ndiswrapper is not included as part of Fedora Core 2.

I am trying to get it working now with my Centrino (Intel 2100) drivers and the stock FC2 kernel, but so far it just crashes my system on modprobe......

Same problem here too.
It compiles without any trouble.
However, the moment I modprobe, it totally freezes.

Any help to fix it would be appreciated.

I'm running FC2 w/ a slightly modified stock kernel, and I dont exactly crash when i run modprobe, nothing really happens. Any insights? I'm totally new to linux.

well.. i finally gave up on ndiswrapper with fedora 2 and tried hostap.
Now my wireless card is working well with hostap.

I will shortly write up some notes on how I got it to work.
