I have a wireless card (Microsoft MN520) that I cannot get to connect to my DLink AP. I have FC3(kernel that is standard with download, haven't upgraded) and it recognizes the card but that's it. I have tried connecting with and without WEP. It appears that DHCP is not working because the only way I can activate the card is by putting an IP in the Netork Manager configuration for the card, but even with it being activated this way I cannot connect and when it activates it gives me an error but it goes by so fast I can't read it. What tests can I run to find my problem?

I have beeen struggling with this for months. This is the only item I have yet to resolve thatis keeping me from Linux bliss. Has anyone had success with this card?

You say that you haven't updated your kernel.
Have you updated Network Manager to the latest version?

Yes, I have updated to the latest Network Manger that was available.

Are there any other stats I should display to help out? ifconfig, etc?

Sweet success! By using the NetworkManagerInfo command to connect all is golden. I don't know why this worked and KWifiManger did not but I am not complaining.
