Hello tim.pirate,
First, those warnings are just telling you that the module loading business is changing and someday the old ways won't work.
Next, about the "FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found." thing... I recommend that you try skipping that modprobe ndiswrapper step and reboot instead. But first do this...
Code:
ndiswrapper -mi
After you reboot, look in the NetworkManager ...

Okay, so I did that, and when I run ndiswrapper -l this is what I get
Code:
ndiswrapper -l

Well, that looks the same as before. I don't know anything about your TL-WN620G wireless device (never heard of it). So as far as I know, the ndiswrapper -l report looks good. It shows two drivers installed and a device present to use them (0CF3:0002). I'm more used to seeing only one driver, but you would know more about why there are two than me.
If you did the ndiswrapper -mi ...

Well, no ndiswrapper in that list. That clearly remains the #1 problem for now. I assume this is all happening in Fedora 11, so try this idea ( it worked for elelab ). If you did the ndiswrapper -mi command, then you should have a file named /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper. Rename that file to /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf...

su
mv /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper /etc/modprobe.d/...

okay I ran exactly what you said
Code:
su
mv /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf
after a reboot I still don't see any available networks. lsmod | sort shows this

Okay. Next, I would try the other "new" ndiswrapper option (-ma). Originally, we only had -m which wrote the usual alias line in /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper. Later, two new options suddenly and quietly appeared (-mi, -ma). As you now know, they create the file /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper with "some stuff" in it. See ndiswrapper --help for a brief (really really brief) description of them. I ...

I've been reading some Ubuntu stuff about this device. I read several comments about not installing the athfmwdl driver and the thing worked. You could try that easily. But first delete the current ndiswrapper.conf in order to keep things orderly (change one thing at time is a good rule)...
Code:
su
rm /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf
Then, if you're willing, try it without athfmwdl...

I ran modprobe ndiswrapper
Code:
modprobe ndiswrapper
WARNING: Deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf, all config files belong into /etc/modprobe.d/.
. I restarted the NetworkManager and still nothing. I followed your steps exactly.
