    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.

    Txm, NTbluez

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

    eth0 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"BayhamDr" Nickname:"Broadcom 4306"
    Mode:Managed Frequency=2.462 GHz Access Point: Invalid
    Bit Rate=11 Mb/s
    RTS thrff Fragment thrff
    Encryption key:C42F-3C4F-E36F-7635-1461-CDB2-AE Security modepen
    Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
    Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
    Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

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

    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
