This web page is a wonderful asset! It is not just for Fedora but it can be easy to check if your hardware will run on the version of kernel you have that has the driver in it's module stack. This is just a simple #modprobe filename.

A more Fedora relevant list might try to give information on
where the drivers could be found as preconfigured packages
(for example if you get a driver as a package from Freshrpms
or Livna it will usually make the necessary changes to
modprobe.conf and the rest)


  Hardware              Software        modprobe


  IntelPro 3945          IEEE80211      ipw3945
IntelPro 3945 IEEE80211 ipw3945 Freshrpms dkms-ipw3945 et al.
or
IntelPro 3945          MAC80211      iwl3945       Fedora 7 needs
iwlwifi-firmware

   Well we learn and find sources of information. It gets better every day.
