Cool. I went ahead and did the 30 day Linuxant driverloader program and it works fine, so I will go ahead and purchase the permanent license for it and not worry about another Linux driver. I was planning on up[censored] to Core 4 after the final release. I have been using the built-in Red-hat updater program, and it wants to update my existing core to actual Red-Hat 3.x.x that is newer than my Fedora core, but I wasn't sure since Fedora and the real Red-Hat are supposed to be slightly different. Will it be ok to do this core update that it recommends? Thanks for the help. I agree that the two products are totally different distros and I was never really able to get Mandriva to work properly - poor, blurry graphics and lots of graphic problems on my flat panel display, very elementary looking menus, sporadic wireless functionality even with ndiswrapper, etc. Fedora worked 99% after the initial install and except for the wireless driver problem I have had zero issues with it (plus the graphics are superb over Mandriva in my experience).

I have my emachines m5312 laptop setup for dual boot in Win XP and Fedora Core 3. Fedora works great with the wired Broadcom network 10/100 adapter port, but I cannot figure out how to get the wireless 802.11g to work. For some reason I cannot find ndiswrapper option in Fedora like I could in Mandrake to install a windows driver. There is no "use windows driver" option in FC3 that I can find anyway using Gnome's network tool. I have my Windows XP .sys driver for this adapter. Does anyone know how to use a windows driver with FC3 or does anyone know of a real Linux driver for this built-in wireless adapter and how to install it? many thanks! Thomas
