Linksys Wireless-g PCI Adapter

[AhrbokTrexon]

Hi, I have a problem "using" the linksys Wireless-g PCI Adapter (WMP54G)...
FC3 doesn't recognize this device and I cannot find the drivers anywhere...

Could you provide some help? the only way I find (but I haven't still tried) is to use drivers here http://www.linuxant.com/company/ but this is not a free solution...

Any suggestion would be appreciated

that's your card using rt2500 chip and there is a project to that chip!

and I think you can find more info with keyword "rt2500" on this forum.

good luck

thanks gallan for your reply...

for bitrain:
your tutorial has worked perfectly... the network card is activated also at boot...

Only one thing: I've a strange problem... after installing the driver I worked perfectly... but after an arbitrary time my pc became slow.... very slow... so I cannot do anything... where can be the problem? in the driver? or is the temperature of 235235236284239482 celsius degrees of milan?

thanks

Don't think that's the problem, but check your bios if you want to know.

but after an arbitrary time my pc became slow.... very slow... so I cannot do anything... where can be the problem? in the driver?

Could be a bug in the driver of kernel. My pc locks randomly, I have a feeling it's those drivers, but I'm not sure, can be the kernel too. I need to update it to 2.6.12, sometime....

Hi men, I haven't found the problem, so I decided to try ndiswrapper with windows drivers... I've installed and configured the kernel module without problems, and now I'm connected to my wifi lan, bt I've a strange behaviour...
First of all my router (dlink G604T) works perfectly with windows.. now, from linux, I can ping the router, I can ping servers on the internet, I can use wget (for example) to access web pages, konqueror works perfectly... where is the problem? I'd like to use firefox and gaim... they cannot access the internet: the first says 'Connecting to <webpage>...', the second freeze...

I don't understand
