Hello group,

Does anybody know how to setup a wireless card on my laptop? I have an
IBM laptop (T42) and recently I have installed Fedora 5 on it. The
harddrive is shared between Windows and Linux. When I boot it up with
Windows there is a wireless connection and it works with my wireless
router but using linux it sees only eth0 (cable connection).

Any advice on this?

I want to focus mostly on linux so need internet for programming and
search I will appreciate it if you guys could let me know what I can
do.

Thanks,
Amit.

Hi Davide,

Thanks a lot for your advice. I found a link which took me to
http://snapshots.madwifi.org/
Is that what you mentioned?

Please confirm this then I will be on my way to make it!

Thanks again,
Amit.

More information is needed. What kind or wireless card? What have you tried
so far?

IF it uses ipw2200 then the Linux driver works well, and should be a part
of FC5.
