NDISWrapper issue (HELP)


I use Fedora Core 5 on my laptop and have a ASUS WL-100 PCMCIA Wifi-card installed.

I'm only able use the WiFi connection if I deactive WEP/WPA encryption on my router.

I have been informed in another forum, that in order to be able to use WEP encryption I need to wrap the PCMCIA card Windows driver with NDISWrapper.

I have downloaded and installed NDISWrapper, but the I try to wrap the Windows XP driver for the card, then I get the error:

"Invalid Driver"

Any idears?

Sincerly and Best Regards
Fred

First Idea - do you wrap .inf file residing in one directory with .cat and .sys ? Not intuitive for me - at least for fist time.
