ndiswrapper fedora core 5--destination host unreachable

I installed fedora core 5 on a desktop

used ndiswrap per 1.14 and also 1.26.

It install driver with out a problem.

# ndiswrapper -l

Quote:

netwm125 driver installed, hadware present

#modprobe ndiswrapper
light come on , on wireless card

Quote:

#ifconfig wlan0

it shows wlan0 card

i add

Quote:

#ifconfig wlan0 182.168.1.13
#route add default gw 192.168.1.1

After that if I try to ping router

Quote:

#ping -I wlan0 192.168.1.1

It shows destination host in reachable.

#tcpdump -i wlan0

shows 0 packect recieved by kernel.

My laptop which has redhat9 works fine with same configuration.

Any ideas??

You don't mention configuring your card (like adding the SSID), either with iwconfig or otherwise. What is the output of iwconfig?

Thanks A lot.
Not: I typed those values in I check it 3 times I hope I didn't make a "crazy" mistake.

Thanks Hangdog42,

I did this
#iwconfig wlan essid default
and now its working.
one quesion though, do I have to set essid every time I want to use it?
Thanks.

Yes you do have to set the SSID every time. I'm pretty sure that Fedora has a wireless config file someplace that do it for you at boot.
