[Ndiswrapper-general] wlan0 does not exist using ndiswrapper-1.0rc3

ok, here is the problem. ndiswrapper-1.0rc3 installed
cleanly on Fedora Core 3 using kernel 2.6.9-1.667, and
the source code is fine. However, I installed my wlan
driver (NETGEAR MA521, using the latest XP drivers).
when I do this:
[root@... sbin]# /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers
netma521 driver present, hardware present
its there and everythings present. I set up my wlan0
using the fedora network connection gui and rebooted
the computer. First of all it gave me an error sayint
that MAC wasn't supported anymore.
Then I went into my network configuration and
unchecked the "Bind to MAC address" box, rebooted, and
ever since than the wlan0 has disappeared (this was
the big problem I came up with).
now when I do:
[root@... sbin]# /sbin/iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 No such device
its not there....but when I type in
/usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -l, the driver is installed
fine, same output as stated previously.
I went back to see if the card was listed in 'ifconfig
-a' and it wasn't. this was fedora's response:
[root@... sbin]# /sbin/ifconfig -a

now that sit0 was not there when I had
ndiswrapper-1.0rc2 on the screen, so
ndiswrapper-1.0rc3 must have added that (am I right?)
and last but not least, when I go to enter my essid
into wlan0 it is not there.
[root@... sbin]# /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 essid
"RADIO"
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such device.
when I typed in /sbin/insmod ./ndiswrapper.ko in the
terminal responded with No such file or directory (I
don't really know how to use it I guess)
well, there's all the info i have right now, if you
need anything else just ask.
ndiswrapper-buginfo.gz is attached.
