Unhappy WLAN0 Device Not Present when iwconfig entered...


When I type iwconfig in Fedora 7, the WLAN0 does not appear in the list. What file would I have to update? I installed ndiswrapper and my wireless drivers are installed from the USB Adapter's software.

Did you load the ndiswrapper module since you mention you have loaded the inf driver into ndiswrapper?

Run as root ' /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper '
Then see what iwconfig shows.

So when you run the command as root ' modprobe ndiswrapper ' it does not load?

If so post the following output from these commands.
uname -r
rpm -qa | grep kernel
rpm -qa | grep ndis

I have the idea that you do not have the kmod portion of ndiswrapper installed that matches the kernel you are running.
