My Acer laptop has a Broadcom wireless connection, using ipw2200. It
works out-of-the-box with Mandriva. I haven't tried it with FC4 yet,
but I see no reason why not.
If your using the ipw2200 then you've got an Intel mini-PCI card
in your Acer. My laptop has a broadcom chip (can't use the ipw2200
care because it's an AMD, grr) and I have to use ndiswrapper. I may
try the reverse engineered driver later when I have more time.
