My network drivers are already in the ndiswrapper's folder(i copied them) as you can see follow:-

[root@nodeB ndiswrapper-1.52]# ls
authors driver Makefile R151519 R174291.exe
bcmwl5.inf install ndiswrapper.8 R151519.EXE readme
ChangeLog loadndisdriver.8 ndiswrapper.spec R174291 utils



then i tried to install the driver bcmwl5.inf as follows but got an error:-

[root@nodeB ndiswrapper-1.52]# ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
bash: ndiswrapper: command not found

so i cldnt install ndiswrapper..Can somebody pls tell me the solution of this problem..I also failed to start the ethernet so i cldnt install it with the help of YUM..so if u can also tell me how to install ethernet then it will b very helpful
