Compile the acx111 module for your kernel if you want to use that one. Or you can use ndiswrapper and the windows inf driver file with it. Again that requires to be compiled to match your kernel. http://acx100.sourceforge.net/

Check here to see to install ndiswrapper under fc5 which would not differ much.

One thing that is needed for either is the kernel source must be installed matching your current running kernel. If you type ' uname -r ' command it will give you the kernel version. Now type ' rpm -qa | grep kernel ' and see what rpms are installed. There will be one that matches the uname output. Now for the kernel source one will be named kernel-devel-******* matching the kernel version. If not present and still using the default installed kernel ( no updates applied ) then on the cd is the kernel-devel-*****.rpm. To install run the command as root ' rpm -ivh kernel-devel*.rpm '
Things to help a new user to learn linux quicker.
Many post here on that and as well on google so use the search tool and just browse this forum. Do some reading to under stand a little about kernel and modules and linux itself.
