I do not think you need the ndiswrapper stuff. That's a way to run
windows drivers when the linux drivers can't be made to work.
I agree...
But it looks like your rtl8187 kernel module is talking to the wireless
chip just fine. It seem now just like a matter of configuration which,
as I said before, I find to be a bit "fussy".
...and again.
Anyway, perhaps you can post some feedback again.
Do you have an icon for NetworkManager on your panel? It should look
like a pair of overlapping computer monitors.
NetworkManager is itself not a GUI app. You need to run either nm-applet
(Gnome) or Knetworkmanager (KDE). Both are GUI front ends to NM.
If not then you will have to refresh my memory on a couple of things. I
believe you did say you had NetworkManager package installed. You might
report the output of running this command
/sbin/chkconfig --list | grep Network
I get this:
NetworkManager 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
NetworkManagerDispatcher 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
I believe dja recommended that NetworkManagerDispatcher be running,
although I get things to work without that service.
Indeed it may not be needed. I believe NMD is for running pre- and
post-connection scripts associated with NM.
