Re: Is wireless support any better with FC5?

James, I'm just trying out foresight linux and the wireless support
looks pretty good. It looks like it's built on fedora, or maybe is
quite similar. I tried it because it is gnome.

If you have more than 256M of ram, grab the latest iso (0.9.4mr5) and
give it a go.

I'm on FC4 now and have been using ndiswrapper with a Broadcom card for
some time: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN
Controller (rev 03). Recently my DLink DI-624 router died and I just got
the replacement. Now I can't get FC4 to reconnect. I can scan the
wireless network and see it, but I can't connect to it.

I've also tried two PCMCIA cards, a DLink DWL-G650 with the Atheros
chipset (I've never got this to work) and a CompUSA card with an unknown
chipset (doesn't work either).

I've also never been able to get WEP to work, so I've been stuck using
no encryption and filtering MACs. I would filter MACs anyway, but would
really like to use WEP, even though it's not the greatest security.

All three of these NICs work fine when I boot to Windows XP.

So I'm wondering if FC5 improves anything. I've heard that SUSE is much
better at handling wireless, but I really like Fedora/Redhat.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

James
