This is to help the development of Linux wifi. Please post data about your wifi card and how you got it to work.

ORiNOCO Silver (Hermes), ZyAIR B-100 (Prism3), ZyAIR B-101 (Prism 2.5), SMC 2532B-W (Prism 2.5) and a Dell Truemobile 1400 (Broadcom).

Ndiswrapper for the Broadcom, orinoco_cs drivers for the others. All are running Xsupplicant with eap-tls to authenticate against a FreeRADIUS server except the ORiNOCO - it's a back-up, tinkering card.

An old Proxim Prism2 card is out on what is probably a permanent loan.

It was autodetected, but uses the wavelan driver by default. Works fine. It is capable of WEP, but not WPA. I am told the newer Orinoco b/g combo cards can handle WPA.

I have belkin notebook and desktop cards using the broadcom 94306 chipset. They both work fine with ndiswrapper however FC3 as a new install with the latest kernel has been giving me some issues...

I had to re-compile the kernel, and get the stuff for my (built-in) Intel 2200bg or whatever it's called. Sourceforge hosts the binary drivers for the Intel 2200 components, I am happy to report that with the Intel drivers wifi connections worked great.

Took me a few tries to make it work, but eventually it did happen.
