Hey all,
First of all i wanted to try to figure it out on my own first, buts its been 4 hours of trying and i still cant get it to work

Im running Cent OS so technically Redhat

Kernel 2.6.9-11
KDE

I tryed getting ndiswrapper 1.7

and after i untar it i tryed

./configure, make, or make && install and i just get a error.

Are these the right drivers in the first place? i just dont want to waste my time if its not.

I have a dell inspiron 4150

THANKS!

i don't use redhat, but i'm sure they have an rpm package for ndiswrapper, just google for it.

Have you not tried the 'real' drivers. Definately work with WG511v1 (fullmac). People have had success with the WG511v2 too, which I *beleive* comes in 2 models, the made in china model and the made in taiwan model -- i think the made in china needs softmac. Anyway, read the forums there, if it works it should work well, especially with V1.
