Exclamation Wifi card g54 Buffalo, how to install on linux red hat


I've got a buffalo g54 wireless cardbus internet card and want to install it on my new fresh Red Hat linux system.

The wifi card always worked on windows, but since im switching to linux ill really need some help because im really new to this.

Can someone help me out on getting this working?
I can offer you any information you need.

The first best thing to research is if it's even compatible with linux, is there anyone who knows something about this?

This is the product's link..... no linux support?

Thanks in forward.

It might be as easy as installing ndiswrapper and the wireless tools package.

You didn't put the specific model card you have, but the important thing is the chipset that they used when building the card.

Check out the list at the ndiswrapper supported cards page.
