I have a wireless router and desperately am trying to get my wireless pcmcia adapter to work without luck. The adapter is a netgear ma401.
I have tried suggestions on multiple forums wihtout success, which leads me to my two questions:
1. Is there any 802.11b wireless pcmcia adapter that will work with fedora core 1 "out of the box"?. I have changed the default setting on my wireless gateway/router for essid and my wep (128) keys.
2. Can anyone tell me how to configure the netgear ma401 to work?
The MA401 should work right out of the box. Post your DMESG output.

All I did was plug it in, and configured it via network settings.
