Thanks Sam,
I figured it had to be something like that. I checked with Cisco and
they have strictly windows drivers for the type of air card that I own.
I was hoping that the fedora software would have some software built in
but evidently not. Does someone know of a genereric software download I
can use for a Cisco Aironet 340 PCI wireless card?
Thanks again Sam.

Hi all,
I just started using Fedora / linux and I am having an issue with
wireless communication. I installed Fedora 8 on my laptop; I have
installed all of the updates available to this point. I am using an
old Dell Latitude Laptop with a cisco systems wireless card. It works
fine with widows it just doesn't seem to want to connect when I log
into Fedora. I am probably missing something but I don't know what it
is. The error that I am getting when I try to activate the card is
that it is an invalid argument (8b06). One of the things that I am
not sure about is how do I choose the type of wireless security I am
using? The cables side of the network system works fine.
I am very familiar with wireless communications and I am pretty
knowledgeable about the windows software but any help you can provide
would be greatly appreciated.
You probably need to set up the firmware for your wireless card,
presuming that your card is supported at all, in Linux.
To determine your wireless hardware, oost the output of 'lspci -v' --
just the part that references your wireless interface.
