Dear Mike:
I have a Netgear WG311T wireless card. I was using it with FC2 to connect to my Apple AirPort Express network (I am mainly a Mac guy). The driver I was u7sing is called madwifi, and you can get it from madwifi.sourceforge.net. From there, the easiest is to get the CVS snapshot as a tar archive and expand it in your home directory. There you have to compile it and install the module. It is still a beta version but it works pretty well. The README file had all the information to configure and compile the driver. After you are done, just load it with modprobe ath_pci. I am currently upgrading to FC3 so I still don't know how it works there.
I hope this helps.
Yes - I will be using madwifi myself soon, there is a src.rpm for it that allegedly works with fc3 at http://pipiche.free.fr/Downloads/Fedora/SRPMS/
(link at bottom seems to be newest)
I thin atrpms also has it, but I looked at their spec file and did not like it - uses too many macros that are not standard to Fedora rpm. I can read and understand exactly what the src.rpm at the above link does, and build it w/o needing to have special macros defined - meaning I can update it from cvs myself if need be.
Looks like it uses a binary only portion that kernel taints due to a FCC regulation - so we'll probably never see it in Fedora Core, unless there is a way to separate out the binary part from the kernel module so that it no longer taints the kernel. But I don't know if that is possible.
