I'm having the same exact issue. If you don't want to wait for the repository you can easily create the rpm yourself... apologies if you already know this. What I did was: First setup your own rpmbuild environment (in your home directory) sudo yum install fedora-rpmdevtools (installs required packages) as non-root: fedora-buildrpmtree (creates rpmbuild directories) Download the latest NDISWRAPPER archive as non-root: rpmbuild -ta ndiswrapper_archive_you_downloaded (builds the ndiswrapper rpms) Now you can install the two rpms which will be in the rpmbuild/RPMS/i386 or x86_64 directory (depending on what you're running). As root use the rpm -i command. To remove, use the rpm -e command. Remember, only be in root to install the packages. Not to build. Hope this helps...
