Yes, one of the computers in my household has a Linksys WMP-54G. In order to run that with Fedora Core I, I had to install the Linuxant DriverLoader. Worse yet, I had to compile using kernel source, which is why I never upgraded that computer from FC1 to 2, because it was a hassle and a half to get that wireless interface to work properly. The problem is the Broadcomm chipset that it has. Broadcomm plagiarized GPL material, or so I understand--maybe some of the older vets can correct my understanding of "The Broadcomm Problem." Today, I'd hope I could find a better solution--maybe use a Linksys Wireless *Bridge* with the integrated Ethernet network interface that modern motherboards commonly use. That's the only trouble with Linux: not every hardware maker wants to work with what is still as much a political movement as an industry standard, and that just makes things harder for everyone.
