Hi Sly
I just went thru this problem on a Dell Latitude CS
The 4K stack is a problem. You need to install the new
modified kernel with the 16k stack via rpm
See this url
www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads-fc2-kernel-i686.php
This is easy to do and ndiswrapper won't work with our
it
also go to this link for great information on
installing ndiswrapper ... the fedora info is a bit
screwed up.
http://fedoranews.org/contributors/e_a_graham_jr/ndis/
This guy really has good info.. follow instructions
carefully
happy wlan-ing
Johnny
