The easiest way to install it is to use the RPM packages for madwifi at Livna or Atrpms. I would recommend that you NOT use the latest kernel (2.6.17-1.2139) when you install and use the wireless card, because of the interface switching issue. Very detailed instructions can be found in the link below. You should scroll down to see the instructions for Fedora Core 5: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/Distro/RedHat > Hope this helps ! -- Pascal Chong email: chongym@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx web: http://cymulacrum.net pgp: http://cymulacrum.net/pgp/cymulacrum.asc "La science ne connaît pas de frontière parce que la connaissance appartient à l’humanité. et que c’est la flamme qui illumine le monde." -- Louis Pasteur
