Hello,
I have a Dell Inspiron 4150 Laptop with built in Wireless card "Dell TruMobile 
1180" (as identified by WinXP driver). 

The problem: the card does not work. Kudzu does not recognize it. I tried 
google and hasn't found anything relevant about this card and FC 3 (there are 
a lot of workaround for FC 2 stuffs). I played around with it based on what I 
found in google and couldn't make it to work.

Here is output of  some command that I hope will be helpful in finding out how 
to make this wireless card to work. Any help will be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks in advance.
