Hi,
I'm using a Cisco 350 PCMCIA card and it work fine in FC5.  My setup is
as follows: Mode=Auto, SSID=Specified, channel="the one i'm using,
Transmit rate= Auto

However, I do have to open Network and first Deactivate the device and
then Activate it after boot.  My wireless is eth1.

Regards,
Truls
