HI

I just installed Fedora Core 3 on a laptop. Now i want to configure the PCMCIA Adapter. It is WF721-AEX 802.11b by the vendor called Gigafast.
When i do lspci -v , it shows that the chipset is of Realtek so i got this driver from their site
ftp://202.65.194.18/cn/wlan/rtl8180l...15_fedora3.zip

but it didnt work. I also tried the driver of atmel from their site but it seems that is not my chipset. Please help me configure my card. Anyone with a good how to will make my life much easier.

The driver there worked for others using LQ:

... who have exactly your card.

If the drivers pointed to are the ones you tried, perhaps you could tell us in what way they are not working ... you downloaded the driver - did you have to compile it? - you modprobed it into the kernel, you configered the card to use the driver? Then what?
