Subject: FC4 on Dell Inspiron 1200 with NetGear WAG511 Dual-Band Wireless Card


An update on my adventure with FC4 on a Dell Inspiron 1200 with Netgear WAG511 Dual-Band Type II PCMCIA. 
 
FC4 installed flawlessly--sort of. At least it installed without interruption. Currently I cannot get any sound on the Dell's internal speakers. (Nor have I tried to plug in any headphones.) Why am I not getting sound? 
 
Thus far, that's the only "issue." Right now I am updating 330 packages using various repositories. As before, I'm using "smart." These packages include the latest kernel and kernel-devel packages--not to mention the latest versions of Xorg, OpenOffice, and a host of other applications. 
 
The screensaver must be saved to lock the screen by default. Maybe I'll leave it that way, this being a laptop and all. I'm waiting to be able to install the xscreensaver-extras so that I can do more than merely fade-out the screen. 
 
Once again: Exactly how do I install the MADWiFi drivers and kernel module? I specifically bought the NetGear WAG511 because it has an Atheros chipset, which MADWiFi is supposed to recognize. But I haven't found any decent instructions on how to install MADWiFi drivers and kernel modules from RPM packages. 
 
Any assistance, even with research, would be appreciated.
