FC6 and ndiswrapper

Harold,

Every time you update the kernel, whether you are staying with the same distro
version or upgrading (like you from 5 to 6) you have to reinstall any packages
that aren't built into the kernel. I know for a fact that ndiswrapper isn't.
The easiest way to do this is to build the ndiswrapper package from source.

I don't have the link available, but find the tar.gz source for ndiswrapper,
yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel, tar xzvf ndiswrapper-xxxxxx, cd
ndiswrapper-xxxxxx, make, sudo make install.  Reboot or depmod -a, modprobe
ndiswrapper.

That should do it. Let me know if you have any other questions.

The bcm package works for the pre-n cards too. :)

Subject: FC6 and ndiswrapper

I did an upgrade on my hp laptop from fc5 to fc6 and my wlan stopped
working. Here's some stuff I've found:

[root@(protected) sbin]# /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -l
Installed drivers:
bcmwl5          driver installed, hardware present

So, it looks like it's there

[root@(protected) sbin]# /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper
FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.

But maybe it isn't.

Check versions between os and ndiswrapper...

[root@(protected) sbin]# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 (brewbuilder@(protected))
(gcc version 4.1.1 20061011 (Red Hat 4.1.1-30)) #1 SMP Mon Oct 16 14:39:22
EDT 2006



[root@(protected) sbin]# /sbin/modinfo ndiswrapper
modinfo: could not find module ndiswrapper

Still can't find ndiswrapper...

Ideas?

THANKS!

Harold
