People,
I have been struggling with a Linksys wpc54g card and I have pretty

given up on it - I just want something that works reliably and "out of

Although the following suggestion is not for PCMCIA but for a usb
dongle I have been using an Edimax EW-7318UG usb wireless adapter for
some time
on an old laptop running F8. It uses the rt73usb driver that is in

kernels and works out of the box with no further ado. I get a solid
54Mbps
connection and have had no hassles with it at all.
If you have a spare usb port I can certainly recommend it. HTH
This is odd. I have an EW-7318UG dongle which I have tried in vain to
run on F8. When I configure it I get a whole list of devices non of
which is this device. If I do a lsusb I get: ID: 148f:2573 Ralink
Technologies, Corp and I can't see that mentioned either. What magic
have you done to make it work?
One thing you have got to keep in mind is that when someone tells you
that a EW-7318UG works great in his box, and he bought the dongle about
a year ago, and the Manuf. made the same model # this year, but he puts
a different Manuf. Chipset in the same model# this year.
This is what a large number of Manuf. do and the poor old Linux guy gets
caught. Because there is no Driver for that
chipset yet. You have got to watch those Version #, and then that isn't
always the truth.
