<p class=MsoNormal>Hey Everyone, I just upgraded to Fedora Core 9 and….I have a
Linksys WMP300N and I had no problems with CentOS (had it installed last)
getting my WMP300n (BCM43XG Chipset) to work using the Linksys driver. Now it
doesn’t seem to show up when I do an ifconfig.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This is what I’m doing:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

</span></span><![endif]>Ifconfig –a outputs no wlan0, just my Ethernet
interfaces that already existed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In dmesg I just get:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>ndiswrapper version 1.52 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>usbcore: registered new interface driver ndiswrapper<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Could anyone point me in a better direction? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
