At first I did bot get it to work on the internet, locally it worked pretty fast with FC3.
I could ping my whole network but not outside it.
So there seemed to be some resolving problem but where?
Down my story. Suggestions on improvement are very welcome !
My experiences:
system-config-network as
http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/sho...ht=ndiswrapper
did not work as only known drivers are in the list, not ndiswrapper. So I could not add a connction with Networktools....
So I´ve done it completely manual: ndiswrapper v1.2
make distclean
make
make install
ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
dmesg ndiswrapper

PS: well see if I van get it into a script ....
Now Networktools does see my wlan0.... so the presence of ifcfg-wlan0 seems essential..
I can mod it now even better.
If I ran ndiswrapper -m before the systems crashes, thats why I want a post script...
Lucky me I had an image as it took the whole systems down...
Security: not installed yet, my access point does not reach far....
If I added wlan0 in the routing table with eth0 down Ie got a SIOCDELRT error, eth0 up and I could complete the addition.
So I will have to test whether it is a one time event or it must be put into the script.
I´ve used the dirver/inf form XP (2004 version).
Linear Mode
