Yes, what is the model number?

More than likely you can use the ndiswrapper tools and use the windoes driver with it. Read the install docs good. Only big issue many fc users miss is they need the kernel-devel package that matches thier current running kernel to install ndiswrapper. Search here for ndiswrapper and you can see what others experience. Main thing is to completely read the install docs.

Check the HCL section at the top of the forum. List many hardware devices. I see an dwl120 and they used the ndiswrapper for it.
