[CLUE-Tech] seeking wireless card

[JD. Brown]

What are you showing under:

/etc/sysconfig/pcmcia

Is your pcmcia recognized?

&

/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices

Do you see a networking device file called ath0?

If your pcmcia is recognized and it should be. Then you may just need the driver for your card
located here:

Also here is a quick howto link for guidance. (It talks about SuSE 8.2, You can still use it for
Fedora. I.E. /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices.

I set my friends Linksys WPC55AG pcmcia card under Linux and got him going with ease.

As far as linux wifi cards that are truly compatible. Check this site out:

Hope this helps.
