i manually modprobed several times - perhaps the ndiswrapper -m was not
a good choice....but now, it is working flawlessy

Rog

After running yum update last night and installing the latest kernel it broke my  ndiswrapper. No prob.. I  would jump to my ndiswrapper source and make && make install.

.....Crud .... errors....

Went and downloaded ndiswrapper-1.6 and did the make && make install and all is well.

We have WEP encryption at our office and I had to modify the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-wireless script with the following

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~snip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
if [ -n "$KEY" -o -n "$KEY1" -o -n "$KEY2" -o -n "$KEY3" -o -n "$KEY4" ] ; then
    [ -n "$KEY1" ] && iwconfig $DEVICE key [1] $KEY1
    [ -n "$KEY2" ] && iwconfig $DEVICE key [2] $KEY2
    [ -n "$KEY3" ] && iwconfig $DEVICE key [3] $KEY3
    [ -n "$KEY4" ] && iwconfig $DEVICE key [4] $KEY4
    [ -n "$DEFAULTKEY" ] && iwconfig $DEVICE key [${DEFAULTKEY}]
    [ -n "$KEY" ] && iwconfig $DEVICE key $KEY open
else
    iwconfig $DEVICE key off
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~snip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had to add "open" to be able to use the network configuration gui.
