Hey All,

I got Fedora installed perfectly, no probs, yet when i go to connect - using a Linksys WMP54G - Wireless-G PCI Adapter it wont detect or get an IP address so i thought, i know i will try and bridge a connection with my laptop which is also connected via wireless, via a Ethernet cable but that to i couldn't seem to grasp ether. I know when i used Mandriva and Knoppix they both were able to pick up the my wireless card.

Any help or advice in this situation would be most appreciated. Thanks,

This card looks like it would work with ndiswrapper. Have you installed ndiswrapper?
If not then install that and follow the install docs from the website.
Also many post here on installing ndiswrapper and setting up.

One thing to do first is disable wep, wpa, mac and or ip filtering on the router. Make the connection as basic as possible.
