WUSB54GC on Fedora

Monyet · 06-29-2007, 01:56 AM

I've heard and seen experience of my friend that used ubuntu had this problem on the past. I also searched around forum and there are many people had this problem.

I'm now using Fedora distribution, I'm not sure whether Fedora supports this compact Linksys card. Anybody know where can I get the driver of this Linksys compact card for linux?

Please guide me to the right direction as I'm a freshmen in Linux environment and just decided to bye2 Windows and say hi to linux

thanx all for the help

P.S I posted on the wrong section I guess lol... my bad...

I haven't upgraded this particular box to F7 yet, but these instructions:

Code:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Belkin_F5D7050_ver_3000_%28Ralink_rt73_driver%29?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDevice%29

got my device working on FC6.

Plus, if you browse the 'similar threads' at the bottom of this thread, you'll find a couple of other ways to get it working.

cheers,

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, but I was without access for a couple of days.

IIRC, Fedora doesn't have a build-essential package (I could be wrong, as I'm going from memory), but it does have the headers, of course. So using yum:

Code:

# yum -y install linux-headers-`uname -r`
and then
# ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build

You'll also have to install tofrodos which may not be in the Fedora repos, so google for it.

cheers,
