VMware and wlan0

[John Pierce]

Hello!  I know this might be a little off topic for the list, but I am
at wits end.

I just recently changed back to fedora, I installed fedora 7 on my two
hp dv9208nr laptops and just as with suse 10.2 I have to use the
ndiswrapper to get the broadcomm 4311 to work.

The problem is wlan0 is not allowing a windows guest on my wife
machine to connect to the lan or wan.

On suse 10.2 when I setup vmware workstation 6 and bridged to the
wlan0 interface it worked.  On fedora it does not, I can ping the
local host address from windows and ping windows host (when running)
from the local host address.

On this machine the local address is 192.168.1.80 and the guest
address is 192.168.1.81 with the latter being bridged to the former.

I have posted this to the vmware forums and so far I have not found a
solution.  If it worked in suse 10.2 then I should be able to get it
working in fedora 7, I just have run out of ideas.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
