[Ndiswrapper-general] how do I switch between 2 wlans?

[sean d. <sea...@gm...>]

I'm using ndiswrapper-1.52 on fedora 8 with a Broadcom 4311 chip.

Works great.

cat ifcfg-wlan0
DEVICE=wlan0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Wireless
ESSID=net1

I have 2 wlans. I'd like to be able to switch between them. iwlist wlan0 
scan shows both.

So I created ifcfg-wlan1:

cat ifcfg-wlan1
DEVICE=wlan0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=no
TYPE=Wireless
ESSID=net2

But that didn't work.

ifdown wlan0
ifup wlan1

Determining IP information for wlan0... failed; no link present.  Check 
cable?

And ifup wlan0 then gives the same error.

rmmod'ing and modprobe'ing ndiswrapper brings back wlan0.

which makes me think this is somehow related.

Any help appreciated.
