Excellent, thanks for that info.  Here is the result of lspci:

02:02.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset
(rev 01)
    Subsystem: Actiontec Electronics Inc Unknown device 2406
    Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
    Memory at f8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]
    Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2
    Kernel driver in use: hostap_pci
    Kernel modules: orinoco_pci, hostap_pci

What can I learn from this info?  Based on all the threads I'm guessing my
wireless card isn't completely compatible with Fedora 9.  The funny thing is
everything works except for making the actual connection to a wireless
network though.
