Hello,
I'm very new to the wonderful linux experience, so bear with me here. To start off I'll explain my system. I have Fedora Core 3 installed with MS XP Pro as a Dual Boot. I have a Netgear Wireless Card (WG311) with an Atheros Chipset. I am connected to a motorola router wirelessly with windows. I can't in any way connect to the router with Linux because I do not have the driver for the card. So that means I must download everything in windows then transfer to a floppy/cd/dvd in order to bring it to Linux. I am looking forward to connecting my Linux OS to the internet through my router. If anyone knows where I can find an easy step by step tutorial or instructions to getting the driver set up on the Linux OS it would be much appreciated. I have been researching the drivers for a while now and came up with little success. I heard about Madwifi, but do not know how to download it in MS and transfer to Fedora. I also heard of using ndiswrapper, but I have the same problem as the Madwifi. Also I am unsure on which would work better for the card. I know that the Madwifi supports Atheros Chipsets. So if anyone knows where a tutorial is or any information that would be helpful for my situation I would be very happy. If more information from my system is required to help fix my problem feel free to ask! Linux is awsome! Thanks for the time.
