Heya beyer42, I need to ask the exact same question. My card is a Belkin F5D6020 ver. 2. I thought I saw something about it during the install when Fedora was detecting my hardware, but I must have clicked through it or something... Anyhow, any help that you could throw towards yet another noob would be greatly appreciated.

-Mike

Pull the card out, then put it back in while the machine is fully booted, then type lsmod into a root console. If nothing wifi related comes up, you need to install the drivers. If you see some modules for your card, use the network config tool to set it up.
