fedora 8 - wireless network card for x86_64
 

hi...

looking to install fc8 on a dual core x86_64 system. more importantly,
looking for a nic that i can insert into the pcmia slot and have wifi up and
running in a short time!!

madwifi apparently has major issues with atheros chipset(s) on 64 bit os.

any pointers to actual cards that really work, as well as
instructions/guides will be most appreciated. i've got a handful of nics but
i can't figure out how to even get them to be fired up, so the power
indicator is on. so, i'm looking for really basic/initial pointers...

the base system is an amd dual core laptop... i i can get this up/working i
can get to the actual tasks at hand!!

thanks

peace.

The intel cards that are on the Dell latitude works pretty good now with
the b43 drivers. After the last kernel update last week, it works even
better than initially :D

Worst case the ndiswrapper should allow you to use the pre-packaged
windows driver.

The INTEL 2200bg card works even better in the Latitude.

I didn't understand this.
Is Intel now using Broadcom chips?

that works...

unless you have a system that doesn't have "windows" on it.. and you don't
want to use ndiswrapper...

Worst case the ndiswrapper should allow you to use the pre-packaged
windows driver.
