Hey i was wondering if my belkin wireless thingy works with my fav os. id rarther make sure that the operating system will support my wireless adapter before i go off and start screwing up my computer.

os:- fedora 6 core
networking harware:- belking g usb wireless adapter

If my os wont support my wireless thing can anyone inform me of a linux distro that will.

Oh btw im on windows xp pro atm.

Find the product code for your adapter, for instance I have a Belkin G USB Adapter and on the back it has "Belkin F5D7050" written. Yours is probably the same as mine, but there's a few versions of it, but they don't seem to label the version on the device itself.

Mine is a 'v2001UK' according to the box and I've got it working on linux using ndiswrapper, which let's you use the windows drivers on linux; if yours is an F5D7050 too, the same should work on Fedora! I also got a v3000 version of the adapter working on Ubuntu using the rt73 driver (I think), so you could loo for packages for Fedora of it

thanks mine is in fact an f5d7050 so im gonna set it up for fedora if i can. one more question though is it possible to install ndiswrapper on fedora 6 core without using an internet connection

Well both ones I spoke about are F5D7050 just different versions of it, so it's important you check if you have v2000, v3000 or even something else to decide whether Ndiswrapper or the rt73 driver are the way to go.

I haven't used Fedora so I don't know whether ndiswrapper comes with it, but if possible it might be a good idea to download what you need now and stick it on a USB Stick or something. That'd mean the RPM of Ndiswrapper, so you can install it, and the files from the windows drivers of your card. You'll need rt2500usb.sys and rt2500usb.inf from the "C:\Program Files\Belkin\Belkin Something\" folder... I can't remember the exact name. It'd be best to just grab all the files called rt2500usb and stick them on the usb stick or whatever.
