halo.... currently i had successfully installed a ndiswrapper-1.23 into fedora core 4, 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 after installed 16K stack size.

Now i am trying to configure wlan0 interface and i found out one link as below:
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/w...ess_Networking

From the link, on the part of "Installing and Configuring ndiswrapper", step10:
10. You will always need to have a ndiswrapper compatible kernel for the application to function correctly. To maintain your current kernel during yum updates, edit your /etc/yum.conf file to exclude the kernel from being kept up to date with the exclude option.

#
# File: /etc/yum.conf
#

exclude= kernel

As well as on part of "Configure The New wlan0 Interface":

Edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 to include these new lines:

DHCP Version Fixed IP Version
============ =================

DEVICE=wlan0 DEVICE=wlan0
USERCTL=yes IPADDR=192.168.1.100
ONBOOT=yes NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static

I just able to read the file only and not able to edit or add informations to the file.
Did anyone have any ideas???
Your advices are much appreciated !!!

perform an ls -la /etc/yum.conf in a terminal to show permissions on the file. If you're logged in as root and still cannot write to the file, the file is probably --R--R--R in which case you can use :w! in vi (or vim) to force write the file
