Hi I'm new to Fedora, having switched from Ubuntu, not that I know much about that either. I have a PCI card in my PC that allows PCMCIA cards to be plugged into it, and I have a wireless card in it. It works in windows of course, so I know the devices are functioning. Fedora doesnt pick up the wireless device, and I dont know how to check if fedora has detected the PCI card in the first place. Ubuntu had a Device Manager in the System menu, does Fedora have something similar?
Anyone have any advice on a starting point ? The PCI card is made by Ricoh, and the wireless card by Belkin
Thank you

And I might have good news for ya. Google ndiswrapper, this program allows that many windows drivers for wirelless function under Linux. So you might get it goin :) (there is PCMCIA support in the kernel btw)
