Drivers for wireless network card...

[zero000999]

Hey!

I have a computer running Fedora 3 and I want to connect it to a network. I have a wireless PCI card to use but it wasn't designed for Linux. Are there any drivers for a Linksys wireless PCI card? The Model Number is WMP11 ver. 2.7. If anyone has any leads, please post them.

P.S. Please post soon!

If it's any help, I have the WMP54G card running fine using ndiswrapper (search the forums for it) - but I don't know if it works for your card. This page seems to say that the card is supported: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/p...index.php/List. I got it to work by following this page: http://fedoranews.com/contributors/e_a_graham_jr/ndis/ and this page: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/p...p/Installation.

Have you tried ndiswrapper? If not, it could be a likely solution.

Hope that's a bit of help.

I was kind-of hopeing I wouldn't need to dismantle the kernal to use it, and if that's the only solution, then I'm disapointed. I just want a driver for it1 Is that a posibility?

Linux ant should have the drivers, or atleast a solution.
Here's an alternative to manually taking apart your kernel, sometimes the solution is to change the kernel size to 16k.

you need to download and install ndiswrapper. I use it for my trumobile [bcomm] wifi pci card. If I can use and install ndiswrapper, anyone can! I have only used FC3 for a few months now and can compile the drivers for ndiswrapper each time the kernel updates!
