I am still not able to connect. My system sees my wireless but when I try
to connect to it it does not connect. I just downloaded ndiswrapper but I
do not know what to do now.
If your wireless client requires Ndiswrapper, then you must get the
Windows driver for that chipset and copy it to your computer. You'll
need to do some research for docs on setting up Ndiswrapper. I installed
it once a long time ago and recall that it was easy, but it's been too
long to remember any particulars.
o Are you sure your chipset requires Ndiswrapper. From the info you
given so far, it looks like your chipset is recognized, the driver
installed, and a wifi network interface set up for you.
o Exactly what steps do you go through to try to connect with your
access point? (Have you tried both GUI and CLI methods?)
o Are you sure that the settings of your Wifi card are consistent with
the settings of your AP?
o Are you able connect to your AP with another system?
o What kind of messages does the system log give, if any, when you try
to connect?
The uname command tells me that the fedora is using an i386 installation ..I
guess..
-------------------------------
uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.22.14-72.fc6 #1 SMP Wed Nov 21 15:12:59 EST
2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
----------------------------
Still trying :-)
I doubt that using an i386 install will affect whether your Wifi works
or not unless you have a bastardized installation with some or more
support pieces missing or conflicting. Again, from the info you have
given so far, that does not seem to be the case.
