Thanks Axel! I noticed in your reply, the Rpms appear to be for FC5, I'm assuming that I would use FC4 Rpms, or would I still download the FC5 Rpms for the madwifi apps? Also, when I try to look at my FC4 on my dell laptop, I only see the eth interface for the wired/eth connection. Where/How would I see the network interface/card when it's plugged in? I know.. really basic questions/knowledge here... Also, even though I've looked at the madwifi site (and others) I'm not sure as to the process for the RPMs when I get them. Will I have to rebuild the linux kernel? Will I have to have the Linux development/source files? (I don't have these on the system.) Will I have to build/compile the madwifi RPMs?

The easiest is to let smart/yum/apt do their job with something like yum install madwifi madwifi-`uname -r` (you need to activate atrpms in your depsolver setup). If you need to download by hand then probably you will need (for i686, non-smp, non-xen0): http://dl.atrpms.net/all/madwifi-0.9.0-23.rhfc5.at.i386.rpm http://dl.atrpms.net/all/madwifi-kmdl-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5-0.9.0-23.rhfc5.at.i6 86.rpm http://dl.atrpms.net/all/madwifi-hal-kmdl-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5-0.9.0-23.rhfc5.a t.i686.rpm > It took me awhile to find a card that seems to be supported by the madwifi > app... > > -bruce > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Filianx [mailto:filianx@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 11:51 AM > To: bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; For users of Fedora Core releases > Subject: Re: getting a wireless netgear WG511T card to work on FC > > > > > > On 06/06/06, bruce <bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi... > > I have FC4 and a netgear card WG511T.
