Get a Netgear MA311 if your machine is a PC, or MA411 if a laptop.
These two are some of the last wireless cards still using the Prism
chipset. Fedora will recognize the Prism chipset and will active the
wireless card using the oronico (sp?) driver.
orinoco and orinoco_cs are the drivers for Prism chipsets. There are
others (wavelan, etc.)
You can also use ndiswrapper. It's a wrapper program that uses Win
XP/2K drivers (the .sys and .inf files). I use it for a couple of
Broadcom 802.11g wireless units.
