02:00.0 Network controller: Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps Wireless Interface

So this is what I get in lspci. I have googled some nice sites but they seem to want me do a lot of work. Just wondering if any of you guys know how can I make this card work quick and easy without compiling stuff and such?

What I have as my computer is Amilo K7600 with Fedora Core 3 installed on it. Everything else works fine but this is pretty much the last thing and I need it bad. Thanks for help already.

I don't think you can do it without compiling, but I'm not shure. Have found a good site however:

Another site to try is < http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/linux-hn/wmp11-linux.htm >. It provided me with great instructions that allowed me to use a D-Link wireless card (with an Atheros chipset) with FC3. It was a pain but, it worked on the first try.

Linuxant: www.linuxant.com is probably the easiest to get wireless working. However their driver is a 30 day trial after which its $19.99 to keep it.

I didn't want to do all that compiling stuff either so I've been using Linuxant's driverloader. I have two desktops so I'll try ndiswrapper on the other.
