hello
i've installed Linux Fedora core 5 an hour ago
and it won't detect my wireless card
KWifiManager "scans" and refuses to find my AP (which is 10cm away..)

my wireless card is a standart 802.11g lan card
3Com EW-7128g
err, Edimax
it uses the RT2500 chipset. is there a global driver i can use?
ndiswrapper

is that some kind of a bash command?

you can use it to use the M$ Windows drivers.
you have the drivers for the card on a cd?
yes
(of course)

so then copy the .sys and .inf files to the same dir and then run ndiswrapper -i whatever.inf
then you can use ndiswrapper -l to list devices
see if it loaded the driver and sees the hardware.
hmm
Edimax
err

http://sourceforge.net/projects/rt2400/
i've found something
it's rt2500 compatible too
might work
i'll try your advice if the drivers won't work
thanks

is ndiswrapper included inside Fedora? or shell i download it before i leave this PC?
