I've spent the last 20 hours (almost continuously) trying to get a pcmcia 802.11b adapter working under linux. It's just not working. I've gone through 3 different cards and just can't get it to pick it up. I also decided that I'd try to go from the fedora beta install that I'd been using to Fedora ver. 1 which is Redhat's official release. This caused even more problems. From a clean install my package manager of choice, YUM, would not work and was erroring out. After installing and reinstalling it about 5 times, it finally began working. I then tried to get my Instant Messaging program installed and that went as well as the wireless card. Man, I tell you what.....I'm trying to learn the ways of the Linux, but it's just not very friendly. I'd write more but my sadomasocistic behavior requires more.
