Ok, I got over my panic and rebooted to the older kernel 
[2.6.15-1.2054_FC5] and ndiswrapper was good again.  Then tried yum 
install kernel-devel expecting that it would collect the version for the 
older kernel being used but it looks like it went for the newest 
although the screen is once more "frozen" leaving me no keyboard or 
mouse!  That happened to me several times last evening attempting to do 
a complete update and I quit, this morning I was able to update the 
kernel alone without a problem.  I'm hoping the update will cure this 
problem if I ever get it done?

"The ndis modules up at Livna are now up to date. Why not just load

them:"

I guess I should try that?

Thanks for the help.
