    unfortunately I used depmod -a. I find fedora really strange. Using the same hardware I got wireless running in slackware, suse and ubuntu and I cannot fix it in Fedora.

    I feel your pain! The same is the case with me. Feodra/CentOS just seems to give me all sorts of grief when trying to configure wireless, yet, the same wireless hardware is a breeze with Slackware, Crux and especially Ubuntu. This has been the case with me with more than a few devices.

    This is from a Gentoo doc I had found online.
    If you recive "FATAL:Module ndiswrapper not found" Try the following.

    depmod -a
    modprobe ndiswrapper

    If that still fails, reboot and try modprobe ndiswrapper again.
    Not a fix, and not very appealing, but it might work.

    In the past, I have had to use wpa_supplicant to connect to my wireless access point. I am using WPA-PSK TKIP for encryption.

    I currently connect with KNetworkManager. Although I have wpa_supplicant installed and set up, I'm not sure that I actually need it anymore.

    Sorry, I didn't realize that it was a different poster.

    The mod has my permission to delete them, if he wants.

    I cannot find a way to get this working. Fedora does not like me I suppose. Thanks everyone for helping.
