RE: Wireless card

My card is from Trendware. They sent me Linux drivers but I have not
figured out how to install them. I have them on a CD and will bring
them too.

I don't disagree with you, but to get that card working, I'm afraid it
will be necessary, based on what I've been able to find out about it.
I'm fairly confident that we can get it working at the installfest
(using the cheat sheet from the referenced web page). If you want to
give it a try, please print that page and bring it along.

I'm also presently trying to get wireless working with FC2. I have a
Linksys WMP54G that won't work at all with Linux, as it has the Broadcom

chipset. From what I understand, Linux 2.6 (included in FC2) has support

for the Prism54 chipset built in, so I'm shopping for a new NIC with
that chipset. Hawking HWP54G, Allnet ALL0271 and Zcom XG-900, XG-901 all

look promising.

Does anyone on the list have 802.11G working with Linux (preferably
PCI)? If so, what card?
