Fedora Core 5 & Linksys Wireless WMP54GS

cannot associate with linksys wireless router.

In previous fedora core builds, 3 & 4 my wireless card worked fine, on wlan0.
Now I've updated to fedora core 5, my card appears on eth0 & does not associate with access point.

I usually manually type in the comands in Terminal mode to initialize the card as I have always done this in the past and works well.

The commands I type in are as follows.
/sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper
iwconfig eth0 essid WhatUpDoc
iwconfig eth0 key XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
dhcpcd -t 10 eth0

I'm using ndiswrapper 1.22, dhcpcd 2, and have installed the wmp54gs files.
everything looks good but does not connect to access point.

Any help is appreciated.

Maybe something useful here:

here is the iwconfig eth0 settings.
It shows the Access Point as being "Invalid".

eth0 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"BayhamDr" Nickname:"Broadcom 4306"

Please advise me how to get the access point invalid cleared. Thanks!

OOps!
will check out those sites you provided to me! Tx again :-)

can I have you send us a dmesg? after you have modprobe ndiswrapper

I had Fedora 5 installed from a dvd image. WMP54GS was running fine by install the XP driver with ndiswrapper.

However, after I made a software update last night, I have the same problem as NTbluez describe above.

Help plz
Thx

you may have to update the kernel and get the latest ndiswrapper
