    One other thing I needed to do (and I just realized I did not tell you
    earlier) was put the following 2 lines in modprobe.conf. I think the
    options line is the final step that made it work for me. Before that it
    did not actually create the interface so it could not be activated.

            alias wlan0 ndiswrapper
            options ndiswrapper ifname wlan0

    Note that the interface name and the alias can be almost anything you
    want, but the config file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts must be
    named appropriately. I use ifcfg-wlan0 since that is the interface name
    I chose.
