ndiswrapper yet again

[timcorless]

Hi all,

I've just upgraded to FC6 in the hope it might make ndiswrapper work better... it doesn't.

Now I can't modprobe ndiswrapper because I get FATAL: Module ndiswrapper does not exist

So i removed ndiswrapper using yum -y remove ndiswrapper.

Now when I try to reinstall it again, I get the following error:


[root@thinktank ~]# yum -y install ndiswrapper

Can I remove the files its complaining about, or will that screw up my installation?
