Unhappy Networking with wireless usb adapter


I have a Belkin G wireless router with a Belkin G wireless adapter... Every other comp in my house is running some form of windows.. My newest comp runs Fedora 8 (Codename Werewolf) with the adapter, problem is, I cant get my drivers onto the comp because I cant install them, and I cant download them.. Any thoughts?

So you're problem is you need an Internet connection to get an Internet connection? If you know the drivers you need, you can download them on one of your MS machines and transfer them to your Fedora machine via CD or USB flash drive. You can then install them using the rpm command.

EDIT: Or, if you have a crossover ethernet cable (or two patch cables + switch) lying around, you could have one of the MS machines "share an Internet connection" to the Fedora box long enough to install the wireless driver. (Some of the newer ethernet interfaces can utilize either patch or crossover cable regardless of the connection.)
