Does the Intel Wireless Wi-Fi Link 5100 card have native support under linux?

Does anybody have their Intel Wireless Wi-Fi Link 5100 card working in fedora 10? I have googled around and it appears a kernel patch may be needed. Can somebody point me in the right direction. johnny

Problem solved. I connected to the internet using a wired connection at the same time as having an active wireless network which allowed package manger to install the iwl5000-firmware for intel pro/wireless 5000 serious.

Example:
querying: /lib/firmware/intel-ucode/06-17-o6

Wireless is up and running on my Asus N50VC-FP035G Notebook....)

Fedora 10 looks is really nice using the nividia proprietary driver for the the G9300M GS 512MB card (1280 x 800). The Display,
15.4 WXGA high definition screen is slick and overall the 2.53 GHz, 6 MB L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB feels generally much quicker than in vista ultimate.

Great job fedora.

Seems that

querying: /lib/firmware/intel-ucode/06-17-o6

is a bug and is unrelated to the wireless problem. i realised later that i was having the same problem in vista ultimate. I read on the asus forum that some people are having problems with Intel wireless cards. I ended installing xp even though it is officially unsupported and takes a lot of searching to get the right drivers. i have not tested if the connection problem exists with xp.

Maybe i have a problem with my asus WL-520GC router. Will post an update later.
