Can see wirless networks but not connect
I hope this hasn't been asked before, I drudged through the networking and hardware forums, but there are a lot of Linux/Wifi problems so sorry if this is a repeat.
I just installed Fedora 5 on my Averatec 6210. I installed ndiswrapper and used that to install the windows drivers for my wireless card. I fudged around a lot, so I'm not 100% sure I installed them properly, however when I run NetworkManager I can see my wireless router.
However when I try to connect to my wireless router using NetworkManger it attempts to connect for about a minute or so then disconnects, at which point neither my wireless nor my wired connections work. I do a 'network restart' and the wired starts working again.
I went through a few tutorials with iwconfig, however when I put all my wifi settings in iwconfig it says "not associated". I know I'm doing something wrong, I just don't know what.
To make matters worse when i do an ifconfig I get two devices that look like wireless devices "ath0" and "wifi0". I turn them up and down with no luck.
Thanks in advance for any help.
