Trouble getting Microsoft wireless card (MN-520) to work
 

I recently loaded Linux (Fedora Core 2) as a second OS on my laptop. (The first OS is Windows 2000). My Microsoft MN-520 wireless notebook adapter works when I boot Win 2k, but does not work under Fedora. I know Fedora is able to reach the web; my web browser works when I plug directly into my wireless base station (Microsoft MN-500).

I have tried to set up the card using the Systems Settings -> Network-> Network Configuration. When I try to activate the device, the
system-config-network dialog box gives the message:
Dterining IP information for eth1...failed

I suspect the problem may be in the way I configured the wireless card.
Any suggestions for getting the card to work would be appreciated.
Thanks

There is a thread on installing that card here . Check out the last post for a step-by-step. If you search on MN-520 here, you get a few threads that may be of help as well.

I thank Hangdog42 for the suggestion to look at the thread
Mn-520 PCMCIA Card. I neglected to say that I had reviewed the thread before I posted my question. The thread suggested that the card could be made to work by modifying
/etc/pcmcia/config
Of note, when I opened /etc/pcmcia/config, there was already an entry for a MN-520 card. This leads me to believe that my problem is other than that mentoined in the thread.

Needless to say, my card still does not work.

Hepl!

Thanks

OK, well, lets see what does work... Do ifconfig, iwconfig or lspci see the card?
