trying to add wireless adapter to my fedora 13 system

belkin f5d7050 raxwn450th v4000

located zydas zd1211 driver on source forge

downloaded and installed it

Code:

iwlist wlan0 scan

showed my dsl wireless adapter

system - preferences - network connections did not show it

i rebooted - now

Code:

iwlist wlan0 scan

shows my dsl adapter, and lsusb says

Code:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 050d:705c Belkin Components Zydas ZD1211B [F5D7050 Wireless G Adapter v4000]

But it not show up on system - preferences - network connections

I'm over my head

Would have prefered to install it via yum but dont know the magic words to get yum to find it

Can someone give me a hand?
