I've installed the ndiswrapper from RPM for RedHat 9 (from http://dag.wieers.com/packages/kernel-module-ndiswrapper/) and I get to the point where I'm trying to load it via modprobe. The ndiswrapper loads, but it doesn't detect "wlan0". When I run iwconfig, it gives me the error "ndiswrapper device wlan0 does not seem to be present". My kernel version is 2.4.20 (from the 2.4.20-30 rpm). (I notice that the documentation for 0.6 says that I should be using at least 2.4.23---Does that mean the rpms won't work, or that someone figured out how to make it work, or that the INSTALL.txt file is incorrect?) I tried this both with the latest BCMWL5 driver I downloaded from the linksys site, as well as the OEM one which is working fine on my W2K partition. Any ideas what might be happening? Can I get this to work without replacing my RPM-ed kernel with a kernel compiled from source? -Mike |
