I upgraded to Fedora 8 today. I was using Fedora 7 with ndiswrapper for my Dell Wireless 1390 card (Inspiron E1505 laptop). It was working fine. After upgrade, I uninstalled and cleaned-up my ndiswrapper v1.46 and installed the latest 1.51 version of ndiswrapper. After installation when I issue ndiswrapper -l command, I see the following output:

bcmwl5 : driver installed
device (14E4:4311) present (alternate driver: ssb)

I tried to unload ssb driver by,rmmod ssb and get the following output.

ERROR: Module ssb is in use by b44,b43

I have no idea what are b44 and b43. It seems to me that my kernel is using ssb driver for my wireless card. I can not unload this driver since it is being used by b44/b43.

iwconfig command gives me the following result
"
lo no wireless extensions.

wmaster0 no wireless extensions.

Any idea how I could make ndiswrapper work as before?

Blacklist that driver and reboot.
