I've got one too and it worked fine until about mdway through FC5.
Then something changed and I never could get it to work again. If
you turn up with a combination that works, please post something
here. There are several people around with those cards.
Could it be that your module quit with a kernel update and needs
recompiling? You are aware of the kernel version screwup with FC6? Fix
that, and try a tarball for your card and compile it yourself for your
current kernel. Might be worth a shot. I install things like that for
java and my webcam in /opt FC doesn't do anything with /opt so it's safe
there. Then when you update your kernel, you can go there and
re-compile. Then you don't have to wait for someone to remember to
upgrade your module rpm for the next kernel... which can take days. Ric
I was using ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant. They had to be recompiled
every time I changed kernels. But after a while they just wouldn't work
any more. They still compiled OK but no wireless connection.
