I need some help with the installation of my wireless PCMIA card (wpc54gs) on Fedora Core 6. Several methods exist for installing a wireless card like using the ndiswrapper. Even though I preferred installing the driver without an Internet connection, I decided to go with this guide for simplicity; http://fedoramobile.org/fc-wireless/ndis-yum-livna/.
The following command gives me this error.
Code:
yum install kmod-ndiswrapper.i686

Code:
yum install kmod-ndiswrapper

Please let me know if a better installation guide exists. Most information about installing a wireless card included partial notes and did not have a troubleshooting section when things did not go as expected.
