ok, got it now working. it is really a pig, like already said.
ifconfig
-a told me later, that there exist a device called wlan0 -
system-config-network didn't.
so, as a first step, i called it manually with ifconfig wlan0 inet
[ipadress] netmask [netmask] up -> this worked fine.
afterwards, it was also known in system-config-network, so i could do
the rest there.
I think I read somewhere that FC4's network scripts have a bit of
trouble handling wlan0. However, you can tell ndiswrapper to use a
different device name. So it is possible to let ndiswrapper call the new
device eth1 instead of wlan0. To make this happen stick this line
in /etc/modprobe.conf:
options ndiswrapper if_name=eth1
Hope this helps.
