Yes, I do have an Athlon 64 system and the motherboard is compatible with the Athlon processor. If you think installing Fedora 5 will be much easier I will uninstall Fedora 3 and install Fedora 5. When I was building my system, the newest Fedora version was 4. But it always froze in Disk 2 or 3 i think. It would never go past that. So i downloaded the disks again and tried again like twice, and got the same errors. So that is why I installed Fedora 3 instead, which got installed right away with no problems. So I see you think its better to install Fedora 5. So I just enter the Fedora 5 disks and partition the drive again and that will get rid of the Fedora 3 installation? Then I will start all over again. And I guess this will be the steps... 1. download the drivers on the ndiswrapper wiki 2. download and install ndiswrapper 3. install downloaded drivers using ndiswrapper 4. set up network. I greatly appreciate your help. Thank you very much for your interest.

I have tried to do the 4k kernel stack size fix. I downloaded the kernel from Lunuxant. but i dont know how to install a kernel. please help me. im using fedora 3. thanks in advance.

If I need to, I could start all over again. If I need to uninstall something, please let me know and please tell me how. Im new to Linux. I am using Fedora 3. When I do uname -a this is part of what i get: x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux About the ndiswrapper version, when I do ndiswrapper -v this is what comes out: Quote: utils version: 1.8 driver version: 1.19 vermagic: 2.6.9-1.667 gcc-3.4 I do not know what you mean by the kernel source package before compiling ndiswrapper (the kernel-devel package). I guess I didn't installed it. I did consult the ndiswrapper wiki. And i tried doing what it says in the beggining but i dont find the folder it tells me the kernel is at. according to the wiki, the kernel source is at usr/src/kernels/<kernel-version>. on my system i go usr/src/ then, instead of kernels i find only a folder named redhat. so i imagine thats the one, and i go inside the folder redhat and find this inside it: BUILD RPMS SOURCES SPECS SRPMS. so i figured this is the place. Then i did the yum install kernel-devel and i get: Quote: You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys. This is a good thing. However, you do not have any GPG public keys installed. You need to download the keys for packages you wish to install and install them. You can do that by running the command: rpm --import public.gpg.key For more information contact your distribution or package provider. i did installed the drivers on the CD because on the wiki it seems they are the netgear windows drivers, if i need to download those on the wiki anyways, please let me know. on the iwlist it doesn list wlan0. it lists lo, eth0 and sit0 but no wlan0. for the freezing i had to restart the computer without the netgear usb, which sometimes still causes freezing after i plug it in. i hadnt done the /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper. i just did it, but nothing comes it. it just takes me to the next line on the terminal. and the iwlist command still gives me "interface doesnt support scanning". Please help. What should I do next? Thanks in advance.

now NDISWRAPPER -L does not worrrk!!! it freezes the terminal. if i go ndiswrapper it does work but when i add the -L it freezes the terminal. also, if i go APPLICATIONS > NETWORK, nothing comes out!!! why did this happened? I have already restarted numerous times.

I already did the NDISWRAPPER thing. when i do NDISWRAPPER -L this comes out: athfmwdl driver installed, hardware present netgw11t driver installed when i do IWLIST SCANNING i get INTERFACE DOESNT SUPPORT SCANNING when i do IWCONFIG i get NO WIRELESS EXTENSIONS whats wrong? what am i supposed to do now? please help! been trying for days!!! Thanks in advance, Leo
