Lately D-Link has been using some components whose OEMs forbid them from making any programming information public. An example of this is their DWL-A650 802.11a card. For more than a year the D-Link web site advised us Linux folks to "be patient". When I ran out of patience and wrote to D-Link about this, I received a terse reply saying "We don't support Linux." Duh! If the manufacturer of a wireless card won't publish its technical specs, there's very little anybody can do to create a Linux driver for Fedora, or any other distribution for that matter. My personal rule of thumb: D-Link is D-Worst. I suggest you try Linksys. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL
