Try F8 as wireless support for FC3 is crap ( FC3 is unsupported and it is obsolete )

Hallo

usuali you do not need a CD-ROM for a Linux-Modul. (kmod) Normally you will find a rpm-package in the internet. I the easiest case you will get it from a yum-repository. Search in the Forum for help about yum.

If you could tell us a bit more abut you wlan-device, may somone will be able to help you. Or post the output of the command lspci.

Hallo qwe010

Normally you will find all drivers (in Linux drivers are called kernel-modules, short kmod) out of the box. But in fedora core 3 you will miss a lot of kmods of newer devices. I advise you to use Fedora 8. May it will work out of the box. Test it with the Fedroa-Live-CD. http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/8/i386/

The lspci command shows all devices on the PCI-bus of your system. The following line is from the wireless card. 00:06.0 Network controller: RaLink: Unknown device 0401
But all I can understand, is that a chip of RaLink is on the card. But I cant find a ReLink-chip with the no "401" in the internet. :confused: Edimax does not explain the chip on it's product. http://www.edimax.nl/nl/produce_detail.php?pd_id=225&pl1_id=1&pl2_id=44
I've no Idea, which driver we should search. It would be helpful it you could look for the exact name/number of the chip. RaLink is usually well supported in Linux. :) http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html

With Fedora 8 you may don't need to care abut the chip. It is for sure the easier way.

If there is relay no kmod, you can use Ndiswrapper. It isn't a nice way to solve the problem, but it should work. Read for help: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-29659.html

Hallo

OK finaly I can see, it is a RT2860-chip. This is the most important information. It is the same driver as RT2890.

It looks like, the kernel source are missing, or a simlink is not set.
Check if the kernel-devel package is installed.
yum list kernel-devel* Tray again.

May the make-file looks on the wrong place for the kernel-source. Ask on the this is the OpenSurce-page of ReLink.
