you're probably better of not using ndiswrapper.. kernel people might
actually care about bugs you report then :)
I'd love to not use it, but I can't find anything that tells me how to
use the existing wireless network card without it. If you have any
useful suggestions, I'm interested.
Is it a G510 revision A, or a G510 revision B?
It's a Revision B.
Revision B cards appear to use the Atheros chipset, which has drivers for linux
that work quite well:
http://madwifi.sf.net
The drivers there you'll have to compile yourself, since they are not in the
kernel (and won't be, since they use some non-open-source binary bits).
Alternatively, you could grab an RPM and rebuild the RPM (since the kernel
module must match the running kernel):
http://dl.atrpms.net/production/sources/fedora-3-i386/atrpms/madwifi-0.9.4.12-16.rhfc3.at.src.rpm
There are also packages for FC4t3 and rawhide under
http://atrpms.net/dist/fc4/madwifi/
ATrpms is officially tracking rawhide since FC4t3 :)
Currently packages for 1286, 1287, 1290 are up and for 1303 are being
uploaded.
If you point to the fc4 repo, you can use
yum install madwifi-kmdl-`uname -r` madwifi
and you'll have the bits installed.
As root, do:
1) rpm -Uhv /path/to/madwifi-0.9.4.12-16.rhfc3.at.src.rpm
2) cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
3) rpmbuild -ba madwifi.spec
4) cd ../RPMS/i386
5) rpm -Uhv madwifi*.rpm
Reboot.

Thanks very much to you and Dan.
