Anyone:
Just installed FC6 on a Dell Inspiron 1200 having a Netgear Dual Band
Wireless Card Model WAG511.
I installed the madwifi and kmod-madwifi packages for the latest
kernel--an i686 kernel; I made sure of that.
But the hardware device is misconfigured as though it were an Ethernet
card, and not a Wireless card.
As a result, the system doesn't even know that it has a wireless card in
place.
Attempts to establish a "New Wireless Connection" require me to specify
"Other Wireless Card"--and no Netgear cards show up. Any device I try to
put in, won't probe for the MAC address.
Result: I can't configure wireless settings, nor put in a WEP pass-key.
And when I force the MAC address, the drivers still won't run.
What now, short of reverting to FC4 to get back my last known good setup?
