Fedora 7 64-bit, ndiswrapper, and linksys wmp54gs

Hello,

Already posted this on the official Fedora Forums but I figured posting here wouldn't hurt.

Been trying to get the Linksys WMP54GS wireless card working with ndiswrapper. I'm getting farther than I did before, but when I go to activate the interface in System > Network Configuration, I get a window with:

Quote:

SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory

Determining IP information for wlan0...SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
failed.

I am running Fedora 7 64-bit edition. I'm assuming the problem is that I'm using 32 bit drivers?

Or is there something else that I may have done wrong?

For reference, this is my lspci output, showing the card has the Broadcom AirForce One chipset:
