I installed the kmod ndiswrapper package through package kit and restarted.
Now when I do
ndiswrapper -i filepath/todriverhere
I Get
bash: ndiswrapper: command not found

I am in root and I have tried multiple directories

Never mind. I installed the package that ended on lvn9.1

I uninstalled that and installed the lvn9 package and it worked.

Hello Tim M

Just for future reference, in Fedora there are two kinds of root.

Issuing the command:

su

gives you root priveliges but only within the areas that you have access to as your normal user.

su -

that's a space and a minus sign after the su, gives you root access over the whole machine.

The command failure you quoted usually arises whne you use the first command where you should use the second. The first won't give you the path to the ndiswrapper command in your environment, the second will.

Thank you, I didn't know you could do that.
