It did under FC4 where I installed ndiswrapper from a tarball.  This 
time I installed from a livna rpm, and since no one on the list 
mentioned the need for 16k stack, I presumed that issue had been 
addressed.  There are no current 16k stack FC5 kernels at linuxant.com 
to download.  I did not get any messages from the system that a 16k 
stack kernel was required - I think I did in FC4.

I purchased a Netgear card on e-bay that is supported by madwifi and 
will try that when it arrives.
Thanks.
