I noted that you have ndiswrapper happily running.  I have been trying
to get livna ndiswrapper to work with my Linksys WPC54G card on FC5 and
have no luck.

The card was recognized, and I was able to set it up in
system-config-network, but now every time the system tries to use the
card, either during boot if it is plugged in at that time, or anytime I
plug the card in, the system freezes.  This same card works with
ndiswrapper in Ubuntu 5.10 in another laptop of the same model.

Any suggestions for me to try?

I am to the point of trying to find a native-supported card to replace
my Linksys card.

Thanks. Gerry
