SMC Wireless in Fedora


Has anyone gotten an SMC2336W-AG wireless pcmcia card to work in Fedora? I haven't been able to find a driver for it and ndiswrapper doesn't seem to work either.
I am running Fedora Core 1 with a 2.6.4 kernel.
ndiswrapper -l says the card is present but when I load the driver I get a device sit0 with now wireless extensions.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

I think that the card uses the same chipset that my wireless card does (Atheros). This means that you will need the MadWiFi drivers which you get through CVS. However, I can put them up temporarily on my FTP server if you want it to be easier. Using them requires a make install within the dir and for every new kernel you compile you need to make clean before make install. Here's the link to the FAQs about it which tell you how to set them up in each distro. It was easy for me in Gentoo because they provide a startup script, but I'm not sure about Fedora. I think they have something for it too though.
