Hey,
I downloaded the kernel.src.rpm and installed it, so that i can compile ndiswrapper. somehow, it doesnt find the files needed. Did anybody succeed to install the kernel-sourcecode? did i take the wrong file?
thx, roger

you need to install the kernel-devel rpm for compilling ndiswrapper. If you use the ndiswrapper from livna.org, you need to use rpmbuild -ba --target=i686 (or whatever the arch you are using).
Do not expect it to work with Fedora... most NDIS drivers use 8k or 16k stacks which the Fedora kernel does not use.

Getting ndiswrapper to work is a pig. I am running it right now. You need to run make xconfig and then go to the kernal hacking area and uncheck the use 4k Stack option, This will give you 8k stacks which might work, If you need 16K stacks for your card you are out of luck with Fedora. And then make bzImage, make modules , make modules_install , and make install etc. This is all after you install kernel-devel as pointed out below. Good luck. You will need it.

First, I'd try just building the driver and running without rebuilding the kernel -- there are cards (like mine [*]) for which 4k stacks are sufficient, which makes life much easier.

My D-Link DWL-G650+ was working on FC4 with 4K-Stacks. But it doesnt now.
I get this after doing the modprobe (snip from dmesg):

possibly a simple acpi-error??

Did you uninstall the windws driver and reinstall it when you upgraded to FC5/ndis1.5? There is a new format. If not try so now. -mf

it's been a fresh install, but even tough i tried it - without success...i'm thinking about this :D-Link DWL-G730AP (needs NO driver at all, but not built-in)

Wrong package. You want kernel-devel for your kernel (uname -a). And ndiswrapper does work with some drivers and not as well with others becuase of the stack issue stephen mentioned. Look for a native driver, change the 4kstacks option or possibly download the free recompiled kernels from linuxant (kernel not DriverLoader) if youre feeling lazy. Native is the way to go if you have the option though IMO. -mf
