Hi --
Fedora newbie just bought this PC card for hp omnibook 6000 notebook installed with Fedora 4. I've searched through google and http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Wireless.html but haven't found related info yet. Appreciate any info on how to make it work.
Thanks.

Make sure you have updated to the latest kernel. The original FC4 kernel had fairly minimal PCMCIA card support. Try putting the card in and do a "lspci -v" as root. You should see something like:
04:00.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Intersil ISL3890 [Prism GT/Prism Duette] (rev 01) Subsystem: Netgear WG511 Wireless Adapter Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 80, IRQ 177 Memory at 52000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1
somewhere in the spewage along with similar information for every other device that hangs off of your notebook's PCI bus. Dig around for the wireless adapter. Then you get to start hunting for a Linux wireless LAN driver for the card. Google is your friend.
If you can't find a native Linux driver, look into ndiswrapper. ndiswrapper lets you use the Windoze driver by providing a "wrapper" module. The livna repository does a good job of keeping the FC4 rpm current with the latest kernel. If you want to learn more, the project is hosted on sourceforge.
