Hi,
   Help........I cannot seem to find any good instructions for setting
up a wireless NIC using ndiswrapper on Gentoo. Can someone point me in
the right direction?

   The main Gentoo doc I found:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=4&chap=4

doesn't mention ndiswrapper. A wiki I found here:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Wireless_Configuration_and_Startup#Configuration_using_iwconfig

barely mentions ndiswrapper. Certainly not enough to get anything
working. (I think...)

  I cannot use WPA supplicant as my NIC is not supported. I did have
the NIC working under FC2 for a long time but am attempting to convert
the machine to Gentoo. (well, it's converted but wireless is the only
thing not working...)

   I think I must be missing some good page on how to do this.

Thanks in advance,
Mark
