Question FC7 WUSB problem


Hi guys before I go into my problem I'd like to say hello to everyone because I am new. So, hello .

Now to get down to business. I decided to install Fedora 7 on my free 250GB hard drive since I got a new 500GB for my Windows OS, and since Ubuntu was giving me crap loads of problems I decided to go with Fedora, I popped in the CD, installation went well, got to the home screen and...no internet.
I went into the utility to set up a wireless network, but the driver for my wireless adapter was not there. I have a Linksys WUSB11 v2.6 wireless adapter. It works perfectly in Ubuntu, but in Fedora its not even detected, and I am unfamiliar with fedora.

So my question is, is there any way you guys can help me out maybe tell me how come I can't get my adapter working, or maybe how I can get it to work.
I've looked all over google and I've been searching for hours to no avail.


Please and thank you .

Hi,

first of all, find the chip/driver your car uses (lsusb in the command prompt or the name of .inf files on the driver CDs).
Next find out if your card has native drivers (it probably has since it worked in ubuntu), if need is modprobe the module. Or take a look at ndiswrapper.
