Funny system you owe :-)

If you cannot activate it with the mouse, try in the shell ifup wlan0. The
cause, why it doesn't exist i can follow. The 1st time i install a new
Fedora-system, i don't get wlan0 in, except if i add it manually in
/etc/modprobe.conf . Add another alias there for wlan0 as a
ndiswrapper-device, then it will recognize it at your next bootup.
