can't find ip address, ndiswrapper on HP laptop

[hlfmanhlfamzng]

Ok, I'm so close I can almost see the internet.

laptop is a zv5340us running FC5. I followed these instructions here: http://www.redrockcomputer.com/zv5340_wireless.htm

The only problem is the last thing.

============If you are in KDE, go to the system tools, and click on the Internet Configuration Wizard. Click on the 'add device', click the 'forward' button, then select the ndiswrapper (wlan0) device as your connection. Follow the instructions to complete the connection.

Once this was done, I was up and running.

Good luck!==============

I cannot find this. I know I have the card installed correctly because using kwifimanager I get 100% signal strength. I just can't get IP address. What do I do next?

I tried using the network configuration control panel, but it does not recognize wlan0.

Anybody know what I need to do to get IP address? There shouldn't be much left to do.

Thanks.

su to logon as root and type /sbin/ifconfig to see if wlan0 shows up. If not you need to /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper again. Then repeat the ifconfig command to check that wlan0 is active. If so try typing dhcpcd wlan0 to pull down an ip address.
