I cannot remember the package, but there is a package that will let you
run Windows drivers under Linux. I had to do that to get a wireless
card working on an Ubuntu machine (get EMC (www.linuxcnc.org) or
something better working on Fedora and we'll talk).
If you can't dredge it up, I'll try to find the name of the package, but
I suspect we're about to see a dozen posts with it :)

Greetings,
I've got Fedora 13 installed on my new Dell Studio laptop. I haven't
had any other issues with the install, and wired networking is working
fine.
I can't, however, get wireless networking to work. The card in the
laptop is a " Intel Centrino WiMAX 6250 Advanced-N +". It appears
that the system has recognized the card, but I don't see any WAPs
listed in the network menu at the top-right of the screen.
I've followed section 5.3 of the Wireless Guide from the Fedora 13
docs collection. Everything looks right, up to step 5 where I'm
supposed to see my WAPs. Two other laptops in the house see my WAP as
well as a few others in the neighborhood. My new Linux box sees nada.
I'm thinking that maybe this card is too new and isn't really
supported even though the system recognizes it. Looking at the driver
lists referenced via section 5.2 of the Wireless Guide, I don't see it
listed.
Can anyone tell me for sure if the Intel 6250 is supported? If so,
any ideas as to what's going on with my new box?
TIA for any help.
