Linksys Wmp54gs And Linux - Fedora Core 3

vizskywalker
I have Linux Fedora Core 3 dual booted with Windows XP Pro. I recently purchased a Wireless card for the computer, an old 715 MHz Celeron made by Linksys, the WMP54GS. I have the matching wireless router, and everything works fine in Windows. However, Fedora does not recognize my wireless card. I have attempted to find info from the linksys site, but it is currently down. Being a novice to Linux, I was wondering if anyone here could help me?

Awile back I had installed Red Hat Linux 9.0 on this computer I now using. Every thing worked fine but my lan card. I could see the other computers on the network. So I figured the card was fine. But I couldnt gain acsess to them or them to this computer The best I could figure was a lang problem. Windows ver Linux. Yet my burner was unreconised at all. From all sorces I would have to write my own driver for it. Found that site throught google under linux for all information dealing with Linux forget the sites name. Know I didnt help you much but hey I decided windows alot easyer to use than Linux is.

I've actually figured out the netowrking issue. There is a utility called ndiswrapper which allows you to use windows wireless drivers in Linux. The problem is it was designed for debian, and I can't set it up properly to install for fedora because my Fedora install is funny, and I don't have source anywhere and the folders that should exist don't. So I'm just going to reinstall Fedora since the'yr up to core 4 now and try again. But thanks anyway.

  2. Can't Connect To Internet In Linux - Driver problem? (8)
    I am new to linux and just installed Kubuntu. I have windows XP on my master primary hard drive and
    Kubuntu is installed on my slave drive. Everything seems to work great except that I cannot connect
    to the internet when I boot into Kubuntu (I also tried Ubuntu). I am thinking maybe it has something
    to do with ethernet adapter driver. I can connect just fine in windows, so I know that the actual
    hardware isn't messed up. Windows uses the driver for Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Ethernet NIC.

    me. And so I decided that it was time to purchase a new wireless router. Even though, the newest
    computer I have is wireless g, I went for the wireless n because of the increased range, and the

  6. Is Linksys Anti-GPL? - (6)
    Today I was out looking for the WRT54GL, the router with the Linux based firmware. I can't seem
    to find it in stores ANYWHERE! It's like Linksys is anti-GPL so they created this router just to
    get people to shut up about how they changed the WRT54G when someone noticed it was Linux based and
    they should have provided the source code. I'd like to get a WRT54GL so I can load DD-WRT on it
    as DD-WRT looks like excellent firmware. My router, WRT54G v5 can only support the mini-DD-WRT
    because Linksys decided to go evil with this version and made the firmware non-L...
  7. How Do I Use Linux To Create A Switch From Multiple Ethernet Ports - (16)
    I have a Linux box with three ethernet ports (NIC cards). I could easily give it more. I have one
    ethernet connection to the outside world at college. College's ethernet policy is amazing, as
    they give us IP addresses that in theory are fully routable from the outside world (haven't had
    a chance to try it out). Unfortunately, I have another computer, my primary laptop, that is
    connected to the internet, and no switch or router. I was wondering how to use my Linux box as
    either a switch or router. What I want to do is the following: 1) Connect the Linux box ...

    I won't exactly call it a problem because it isn't now but used to be. OK so i bought my

    couldn't detect the (I'm guessing" weak signal emitted from my cheap router. My computer
    (Which isn't using the linksys adapter) uses a cheap external wireless adapter the same brand as
    the router and it connects perfectly. When i called linksys to ask why it didn't work, they told
    me its because the signal is very weak and when i tried like nudge it a little it ...
