lo Interface doesn't support scanning
eth0 Interface doesnt support scanning

knetworkmanager says its not running

After installing ndiswrapper, did you do:

Code:

depmod -a

Then:

Code:

modprobe ndiswrapper

...to load the module and:

Code:

lsmod

To ensure it was present before attempting:

Code:

iwlist wlan0 scanning

?

As root run:

Code:

# ndiswrapper -l

that should show your driver installed. Then you can run:

Code:

# iwlist wlan0 scan

and that should list your wireless access points.

I use Fedora/Gnome mainly and NetworkManager. I made sure NetworkManager was enabled in services.
