fresh approach needed for connecting to Internet on Fedora Core 5 (or 7) - Linux

crmpicco · #1 08-31-2007

I have been hunting about the internet for a while not trying to find a way to connect to the internet via WiFi with Fedora Core 5 with no luck however.

I have a Netgear ADSL2+ DGB111G Router and a matching USB WiFi card (came packaged together). I have it up and running on WinXP Home SP2 fine, but having problems with FC5.

I have tried to instal ndiswrapper to use my Windows drivers, but complains about problems with dependancies. I don't know if I need a fresh approach? Am i better going for a newer version of Fedora or a different distro that is better supported for things like this? Ubuntu? Gentoo? SuSe?

Not sure what direction to go to be honest :-)

Any help appreciated,
Picco

I have previously heard that most (if not all) USB WiFi cards are not supported on Linux. Not sure whether the world's changed. Good luck.
