Now, how can I modprobe the right module for my wireless lan ??

What info do I need to load the right module ??

Sound also does no work out of the box after installing Fedora 10 on this Targa Traveller.

UPDATE :

sound works...

But wireless :

[eddy@eddy ~]$ ndiswrapper -l
neti2220 : driver installed
device (17FE:2220) present
[eddy@eddy ~]$ ifup 17FE:2220
/sbin/ifup: configuratie voor 17FE:2220 niet gevonden.
Gebruik: ifup <apparaatnaam>
[eddy@eddy ~]$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

pan0 no wireless extensions.

I installed ndiswrapper and installed the windows XP-driver via ndiswrapper, but still no workin wifi...

2nd UPDATE :

"modprobe ndiswrapper" and my wireless is activated !!

But still one problem : loading this module at startup...
modprobe -m does not make the wireless to load at startup. What can I do ??

personnaly madwifi work best because it loads at boot but it should anyway try creating a boot script with modprobe ndiswrapper in it

I've put a little script in rc.local that activates my wlan card at boot.

Well I've just put "modprobe ndiswrapper" in rc.local which loads my wireless module, namely ndiswrapper.
Ndiswrapper is an alias for wlan0, defined in ndiswrapper.conf.

However I'm having some trouble with WPA-encryption. But there's enough tutorials about this problem on the internet to solve my problem.

The NetworkManager seem to handle WPA interactions quite smoothly, although you need the wpa_cli installed as well as wpa_supplicant. (The standard wpa_supplicant RPM includes all the wpa tools.)

The only problems with using the NetworkManager that I've noticed are that:
  1. You can only have one network device active.
  2. It's difficult to activate the wireless connection in run level 3. (In Ubuntu, after setting /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, all I need to do is a dhclient, but that doesn't work on Fedora.)
Anyhow, my advice is to use the NetworkManager on Fedora. Basically (once you've got your hardware working), all you need to do is click on the network icon* in the task bar and select the access point to which you want to connect. If a password or pass phrase is needed, you'll be prompted to enter it and it will (if you wish) be stored in your "walet" so you don't need to re-enter it the next time you use that AP. The NM ysed the wpa_cli to connect to the AP (ignoring wpa_supplicat.conf) so you don't need to set up your configuration file.

If you do want to set up a configuration file, here's what my simple one looks like (pass phrases redacted, of course):
Code:
$ sudo cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
[sudo] password for Peter:                                         
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant                             
ctrl_interface_group=wheel                                         

update_config=1
eapol_version=2
ap_scan=2     

# Wireless router
network={
        ssid="T.S.S."
        proto=WPA WPA2
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=CCMP TKIP
        group=CCMP TKIP 
        psk=" redacted "
        priority=0         
}                         

# Qwest DSL modem
network={
        ssid="T.S.S. 2"
        proto=WPA WPA2
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=CCMP TKIP
        group=CCMP TKIP 
        psk=" redacted "
        priority=1         
}

# Neighbor                           
network={                 
        ssid="Revelas"     
        proto=WPA         
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK   
        pairwise=CCMP TKIP 
        group=CCMP TKIP   
        psk=" redacted "
        priority=2         
}

# Any open-access AP . . .
network={
        key_mgmt=NONE
        priority=3
}
* I believe that GNOME automatically adds the NM icon to the task bar. If you use KDE, you'll need to install knetworkmanager and run it (once) to get the icon on your task bar.
