I keeep getting errors like this in fedora 8. Please help!!!

[Brian1]

Lets see what you have in the system. post output of the following commands.
uname -r
rpm -qa | grep kernel
rpm -qa | grep ndis

Since you have an Atheros based nic I would install madwifi instead of ndiswrapper. That is what I use on my Acer with the same nic.

Brian

[HaydnH]

simple fix: install the correct package! ;-)

# yum install kmod-ndiswrapper

This will install the correct ndiswrapper for your kernel also.

Haydn.

did you have any problems connecting to networks? I installed ndiswrapper (1.49) from source on fedora 8 (kernel 2.6.23.1-49.fc8), was able to to a /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -i driver.inf and a /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -l to confirm the driver was there. Network manager appears to recognise the driver, as I can use it to connect to networks, but it never connects to any i try, it just keeps going for a few moments then asking for the key again, and again, and again! I tried wifi radar but that didnt help much either. btw im using an atheros card on a macbook pro r3

[stardust2008]

me too, and it is because the OS still can not find the damn signal up wireless nic, it seems this method is useless.
I still can not use my wireless lan. who can tell me what should i do?
