Welcome to LQ. Look at Ndiswrapper to do this - the site has a good install document.

Hello arnel

If you are going to get that wireless card to work, you will need more information on it than that.

If you open terminal window and type:

/sbin/lspci -v

one of the areas of reply should define your wireless card in more detail.

If you highlight and copy it's entry from the terminal window and paste it into another post we'll have something more to go on.

I am a different person with the same question.
I have to go back and forth between my wife Winows PC and my laptop so cutting and pasting is not possible. Please feel free to talk to me like I'm a 2-year old as I am a newbie.
I have a Braodcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controler (rev 02) Subsystem: Linksys WPC54G-EU version 3 [wireless-G Notebook adapter] Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 Memory at 14000000 (32-bit, non-prefecthable) [size+8k]

Hello Moedm

If you are using Fedora 7 there is a pretty good howto here:

http://www.fedoraguide.info/index.ph..._drivers_howto

Ndiswrapper is a way of using your windows wireless card drivers in Linux

If you were using Fedora 8 or if you upgrade though the advice would be completely different.

Read the howto in conjunction with the section following it in the guide and it should give you all the information you need.

It's the one I followed when I still used Fedora 7.

Do be aware though that the first part is talking generally about the use of ndiswrapper and where it talks about specific driver files you will need to substitute those which were supplied with your card.

Post back if you have any problems
