It would really have to depend on the chipset that is on the card. Can you run lspci? On 4/22/05, Eric Martin wrote:

I believe you can grab a newer kernel although it would prob be an FC3 (Fedora Core 3) kernel. I personally haven't used Fedora much so I'm not sure. Have you tried googling that name? I've never even heard of that nic. From the quick google search I did it sounds like it's a Microsoft card. Did see a few topics about linux drivers, but all dead ends at a short glance.

I would imagine that a newer release of Linux might have it. I don't even remember if Fedora 1 was in the 2.6 kernel stream...

I assume that means that you gave up on Fedora? On 4/22/05, Jerome Walczak wrote:

Uses the prism 2 chipset, or maybe just prism, but either way its a standard (to myknowledge) chipset found on linksys cards. So under normal circumstances you should be able to use the tulip module to get this to work. But of course microsoft had to go in and put in their 2 cents and screw it up for everyone. Apparently the I/O address built onto the card was changed so you have to rewrite the tulip module manually in order to get it to work. To begin insert the following line at line 201 (its a function I beleive) of the tulip module source code (tulip_core.c) " {0x1414, 0x0002, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, COMET}, " save and do the following commands. cd /usr/src/linux**** #(**** = kernel number) make dep make modules make modules_install do a restart and everything should be ok right now I'm using mine in slackware so I know it works.

--- I got this from linuxquestions.org ... I tried doing this but no go, the network card is still MIA - I tried downloading & burning the SRPMS images for Fedora 3 but I can't boot from them - I'm going to download the other images listed on the site & try them - does anybody know why I couldn't boot from the SRPMS images?

SRPMS are source code. You don't need them unless you are going to develop Fedora. You need the 4 i386 .iso files, or you can get just the boot.iso and do a HTTP or FTP install off the internet.

That was the point I was trying to make... On 4/22/05, Jeff Moyer wrote:

You would need to update/install other packages to get a 2.6 kernel to boot on a 2.4 based distribution. Arjan used to keep around all of the necessary packages on his people page, but he's since removed that. I don't believe it to be worth the headache.
