My recomendation, that may draw flames would be to forget about FEDORA's guis for now... Get it working from the command line. even if you only test it using PING. I find that FEDORA gui's work fine when the hardware is recognized on bootup. but special software I find battling the GUI's slow me down until I understand what the problem is. sometimes you need an updated driver, or try a different backend. then GUI is a frontend that works with different backends. Myself I have to run a Shell script manualy to get my ACX100 chipset to work... it took me a month or so of tinkering, but I got the card to work. All I needed was the NDISWRAPER and it worked like a charm. kinda cheating in the eyes of open source, but what works eh?.... then my guis recognized it flawlessly. Again, I bid you fun and luck.

I am going to try Ndis wrapper. Does anyone know anything about this?
