ndiswrapper problem

["Harold Hallikainen" <harold hallikainen com>]

I'm trying to get the built-in wireless working on my new HP Pavilion
zv6233nr laptop. This is an AMD Athalon based machine, so I'm using
FC4-64. Following the instructions on
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Installation ,
here's some of the installation...

[harold localhost sbin]$ ./ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
bcmwl5          driver present, hardware present
[harold localhost sbin]$

[root localhost sbin]# ./depmod -a
[root localhost sbin]#

[root localhost sbin]# ./modprobe ndiswrapper
[root localhost sbin]#

Note that depmod did not return an error. The instructions say, regarding
modprobe

 If you get no error the driver should now be loaded. You can verify this
by checking system log produced by dmesg. If the driver is loaded
successfully, you should see a message in the system log

ndiswrapper version <version> loaded

I find nothing in /etc/dmesg, and it appears ndiswrapper was not loaded.
So, what am I doing wrong?

THANKS!

Harold
