I did everything step by step but when I complete step "modprobe ndiswrapper" my laptop just freeze and the only thing I can do is to shutdown it pressing power switch.
During this how-to I've got "no such module" when tried to delete modules b43 and ssb.
NDiswrapper version 1.52.
Before I used madwifi, but when I upgraded kernel it stopped work, so I try to configure ndiswrapper now.

added: looked through ndiswrapper manual and found when I press ndiswrapper -l and get alternative driver from madwifi. It's listed only in /etc/modprobe.conf~ I should only delete string "alias wlan0 ath_pci"?
P.S.: ifconfig see only eth0 whick is wired network.

What wireless are you using? Use lspci command to see. I would suggest installing madwifi again since your wireless was working with it. Just make sure to clean older madwifi and ndiswrapper installations and remove any modules that are loaded.

I have Atheros 5006EG.
I would use madwifi but cannot understand, how to clean all ndiswrapper and madwifi from system to install it again. because linux accept to load from previous kernel version I use now previous kernel with working wireless.
Hope next Fedora release would support my wifi

Remove ndiswrapper by typing

Code:

make uninstall

in the dir you unpacked ndiswrapper. Then

rmmod ndiswrapper

to remove module. Then recompile madwifi. It should get you going.
