Getting Online in Fedora Core 6

[cbsimpson]

I just did a clean install of FC6 on a newly built machine and I'm trying to get online but have so far met with little success. I am running the x86_64 version and kernel 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6. My ONLY way to get online is over a wireless network, I do not have an accessible wired network. I have a working Mac/Windows Boot Camp laptop that is online. I bought a Wireless USB adapter with the Ralink RT73 chipset and need to get it working. Problem is, all the instructions I find talk about using yum or give instructions that assume that I know a lot about working in the terminal. I would really appreciate instructions that actually tell me what to type to make this work. I can follow directions just assume I know nothing about command lines, I've lived in the GUI my entire life.

Hi,
You can see most things in GUI, try top bar:system menu >preferences (or the next one - i am on win currently so cannot check) >network and see if your device is listed. And tells us if you see anything. Does your wireless box have an ethernet connector - like a phone plug but square.
A terminal is like Command prompt on windows ( or vice-versa ) and should be under apps>system tools menu . You can type in lsusb and cut and paste the response in your reply.
Hope this helps, someone will give you an opinion.
Ralph.
