I have just installed RHEL 4 Workstation and installed the ndiswrapper and 3
NIC drivers.

All the drivers are installed according to the ndiswrapper -l query.

However, when I type iwconfig - my interface for the wireless does NOT show
up (as wlan0 or eth1) at all. When I query the again using ndiwrapper -l -
it shows drivers present and hardware present!

How can I force the system to look for this Wireless Interface? Ndiswrapper
sees it but the system does not.
