I perceived that I can't use the full pathname for the driver. I must go to
the directory where the driver is and apply the "ndiswrapper -i" command:

[root at musashi ~]# ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf

Steve,
I did all procedures that you suggested.
Look at these bellow:
[root at musashi ~]#
[root at musashi ~]#
[root at musashi ~]# uname -rpmi
2.6.18-128.el5PAE i686 i686 i386
[root at musashi ~]#
[root at musashi ~]# rpm -q kmod-ndiswrapper-PAE
kmod-ndiswrapper-PAE-1.54-4.el5.elrepo.i686
[root at musashi ~]#
[root at musashi ~]#
[root at musashi ~]# ifconfig wlan0
wlan0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
[root at musashi ~]#
[root at musashi ~]#
[root at musashi ~]#
Must I create the configuration file ifcfg-wlan0 like ifcfg-eth0 in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ to get success in command "ifconfig wlan0" ?
I'll find informations about it in some manuals and books mine.
Thank's for the help guys!
Best Regards.
Wagner.
