Wireless Network
 

Hi, I'm new to linux and my distro is Fedora I.
My problem now is that I have a D-Link DWL-120 Wireless Network USB Adapter, but I don't know anything about USB under linux, plus I don't know if the system recognices this device or else how to install it.

Thanks a lot for your help!

1.0 Is your card detected
1.1 Plug the thing in and power up.
1.2 from terminal do a "lsusb" and read the result.

2.0 Configure your card
2.1 Use the network configuration tool
2.2 Configure a new wireless connection
2.3 it is a usb card - so it will probably be /dev/sda1 or similar
