Do I have buggy fedora 5?

[extendedping]

Hi all newbie here. installed fed 5 from a book I got, logged as root. my first task was to try to get my wireless nic working (I have no other in this computer). So I downloaded what I hope to be the correct ndiswrapper to my windows pc, saved it to my ntfs usb drive (yea I know that may be a different can of worms) and plugged it into the usb port on my linux box. Now using the lsusb command I see in my linux in a nutshell boot I try to see the drive. And I get an error message saying command not found...hmmm I am root...then I tried to use the locate command I read about to search for the command and I got and error saying selinux bad hard link count and that my file system may be corrupted. so I reinstalled and the exact process has been repeated. HELP A NEWBIE BROTHER OUT....am I doing something wrong or is something amiss????????

Well, I don't have wireless so I'll just post a couple of threads that might give you a starting point: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=29659 and http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=60081 There are a lot more if you use the Search button and plug in 'Ndiswrapper' . And, as to 'lsusb', from here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forum/...ad.php?t=11277 it seems that you have to download that. A bit of checking thru rpmpbone shows that usbutils provides that: 'yum install usbutils' .
