Thanks Jerry, Axel,
I'm going to look into the native drivers rather than ndiswrappers. Even
though I finally got the ndiswrapper rpm's to install I prefer this idea.
The laptop is a Dell Vostro 1510, and lspci gives:
06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)

Rather than screw with NDISWrapper, are you using a BroadCom NIC?
There is a native Broadcom driver in F10, but you need to load the
firmware. There is a utility called b43-fwcutter you would use to do
this from the Windows driver. In any case, it might be better for you to
describe your wireless chip and Dell model. Note that NDISWrapper is
bith a driver (ndiswrapper.ko) as well as a command. But, in the case
of Broadcom, it will conflict with the native driver.
