wireless network question



Hey All,

I have a DELL Inspiron 1721 (WLAN 1390). I am running 64 bit
Fedora 8 and have downloaded a 64 bit windows driver for ndiswrapper
(1.50). When I run "ndiswrapper -l" I get a response:

bcmwl5 : driver installed
device (14E4:4311) present (alternative driver: ssb)


when I run iwlist wlan0 scan, I receive:

wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down

Does anyone have any ideas on where I should go from here? Any help
is much appreciated. Thanks.
.
