Hey guys I'm new to Linux ... i've installed Fedora on my laptop about a year ago, but then i had to take it off cause i was still using windows (Wireless internet0, more than anything, so i figued why even have it on, since is taking up sapece, BUT I'm really pissed off, about some thing that have happened with XP, and I'm totally dedicated and decided to learn and embrace Linux once and for all, the catch is i need to get my D-Link G630 wireless card to work, are there any drivers, or something i can do to get this to work, since the IT department where i work WILL NOT HELP ME, cause is Linux, they even told me ..."You're on your own dude, if you put linux on that box"... so PLLEEEEAAASSEEE Help me.

I really hate windows, and would like an alternative, but a powerbook is so expensive, and my work will only give us PCs.

Thanks, P3d

Guys I'm very new to this, and i was wondering if someone wouldn't mind guiding me on this, actually as much as i'd hate to admit it, i need someone to walk me throught this. Thanks
