James, I'm just trying out foresight linux and the wireless support looks pretty good. It looks like it's built on fedora, or maybe is quite similar. I tried it because it is gnome. If you have more than 256M of ram, grab the latest iso (0.9.4mr5) and give it a go. On 4/19/06, James Pifer <jep@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Is wireless support any better with FC5? I'm on FC4 now and have been using ndiswrapper with a Broadcom card for some time: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03). Recently my DLink DI-624 router died and I just got the replacement. Now I can't get FC4 to reconnect. I can scan the wireless network and see it, but I can't connect to it. I've also tried two PCMCIA cards, a DLink DWL-G650 with the Atheros chipset (I've never got this to work) and a CompUSA card with an unknown chipset (doesn't work either). I've also never been able to get WEP to work, so I've been stuck using no encryption and filtering MACs. I would filter MACs anyway, but would really like to use WEP, even though it's not the greatest security. All three of these NICs work fine when I boot to Windows XP. So I'm wondering if FC5 improves anything. I've heard that SUSE is much better at handling wireless, but I really like Fedora/Redhat. Any suggestions are appreciated.
