Hello guys,
I two days ago purchased a brand new Belkin Wireless G Desktop network card 
that wasn't absolutely recognized by Fedora 4.
I took some adjusting till I spoke to a Belkin representative and they 
advise me to use the LINUXANT.COM procedure to install the windows xp 
compatible driver.
I had to reinstall Windows XP on my machine in order to be able to get the 
exact necessary windows drivers files.
The card this way seemed to be working somehow but strangely it seemed to be 
only getting connected to my friend's wireless access point , who funny 
enough lives at 100 meters across the street from me .
No sign of getting connected to my router which is placed just on the window 
ledge behind the computer.
I started thinking that it is probably or most likely a problem with using 
the the win xp drivers in fedora.
The card works obviously in win xp.
I spent now 3 days trying to get it connected to my router with FEDORA, SUSE 
10  but nothing I only get connected to a remote and very slow external 
access point but not mine.

ARE THERE ANY WIRELESS CARDS THAT WOULD JUST WORK OUT OF THE BOX WITH FEDORA 
4?


PLEASE HELP.


MIRCO
