Hello all that are willing to help,
Here's the situation:
I have a WMP54G v.2 Linksys card with a Broadcom "BCM43XX" chipset.
I have Fedora core 4, obviously b/c why would i be in a Fedora Forum..anyways.
I installed ndiswrapper, it said hardware/drivers present and the system log dmesg said
I was good to go. I was able to change my essid only AFTER I set on my router for ssid to broadcast. I was pulling my hair out trying to change my ESSID and it wouldn't until i made the router broadcast. Anyways couldn't understand the WPA-PSK directions something about makin a .config. So i just made life simple and changed to Wep 128 bit. I know it's easy to crack using aircrack,airsnort etc, but I was gonna try to fix that in the future. Ok so i did all that and it worked for the first time, well I wouldn't be in here to just gloat. I did the ndiswrapper -m to saving my config and went into the settings and added my wireless card to the config, clicked on ndiswrapper(wlan0) and saved. I thought everything was cool, so i restarted. It didn't work when I came back I know it said that it wouldn't boot up unless i added ndiswrapper to the premodprobe file or something like that but i just restarted anyways, stupid me i guess. Well now to my problem...lol, Can someone help me figure out the whole WPA install and where do i make the changes so it will boot up everytime correctly, and now after the restart when i try to do iwconfig or iwlist it says cannot find library. Also when i installed wireless tools, it did say to add /lib dir to /etc/lib.so.config sry if thats alittle off, but i wasn't sure what that meant. So maybe thats the problem why i can't do iwconfig and iwlist anymore.
ok just to make sure here are my problems
1. Cannot do "iwconfig, iwlist, etc" anymore, I could before i restarted, it claims cannot find library
2. What file do i change "modprobe.config.."? So when i do get everything corrected with ndiswrapper it will boot up and i wont have to mess around with it
3. WPA-PSK, i want to use this instead of WEP, but the directions were not simplified enough on how to install.
PS I didn't notice any WMP54G thread that specifically asked about the version 2 adapter so thats why I posted a new thread
thx
