I did an upgrade on my hp laptop from fc5 to fc6 and my wlan stopped
working. Here's some stuff I've found:

[root at hhlaptop sbin]# /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -l
Installed drivers:
bcmwl5          driver installed, hardware present

So, it looks like it's there

[root at hhlaptop sbin]# /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper
FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.

But maybe it isn't.

Check versions between os and ndiswrapper...

[root at hhlaptop sbin]# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 (brewbuilder at hs20-bc1-6.build.redhat.com)
(gcc version 4.1.1 20061011 (Red Hat 4.1.1-30)) #1 SMP Mon Oct 16 14:39:22
EDT 2006



[root at hhlaptop sbin]# /sbin/modinfo ndiswrapper
modinfo: could not find module ndiswrapper

Still can't find ndiswrapper...

Ideas?

THANKS!

Harold
