Trying to set up a Linksys WUSB54GC USB Networking card on my Fedora Core 5 machine without any luck at all. I know the USB is working just fine, I plug in a flash drive and it works just fine...plug in the network card and absolutely nothing happens. The linksys card also works just fine in windows. Under System->Networking nothing is showing up in devices or hardware and there's no Linksys options at all when trying to install new hardware. ifconfig and several of the other networking commands don't even work when I open up a terminal..I'm a big noob and totally lost here. Could someone help me please?

Well I can't vote for a guy for president without spelling his name right... [font:arial]DANLEFF FOR PRESIDENT![/font]

Danlef for president! Somehow my bio had indeed stopped seeing the secondary drive. Very strange. Anyhow, setting it to LBA has fixed the problem right quick. So glad I listened to danlef in the previous posts not to touch anything, mess with the mbr, swap out hard drives, etc. Quick and easy...you rock danlef!

So I'm at a loss. I've read through the posts, tried a couple things suggested...and now nothing boots. I've got a homebrew desktop, not a Dell or Compaq or any of that. Dunno what the motherboard is, but here's some of the specs: Pentium III, 866 MHz Pri. Master Disk: LBA, ATA 33, 46116MB Pri. Slave Disk: none It's got two IBM hard drive's in it...one slaved to the other, which is odd it says none above. I've used the slave drive in windows without any issues...the jumpers are set to slave, not cable select. Anyhow, I recently wiped the primary drive of my windows 2000 installation in exchange for a full install of windows xp. Things were working fine and I slapped in an old hard drive specifically to dual boot linux. Was accessing the second hard drive just peachy in windows, then I tried to put fedora core 5 on it. During installation, I selected to put grub on MBR, but it did install a boot directory on the second hard drive as well. I also selected it to load Other (which I labeled windows) by default. To begin with it simply booted up into windows like grub didn't exist, so I hit the forums and found the suggestion to try: grub-install --recheck /dev/hda The command itself was successful, however this simply made things worse...now my computer will not boot at all. I then tries entering into grub itself and typing: root (hd1,0) setup (hd0) quit It attempts to load into grub, at which point I receive grub error 21. I've not swapped anything around, nor messed with my MBR since this has happened. Anyhow, my grub.conf is as follows: (tho is it even using it, if it's got a boot directoy on the secondary hard drive?) #boot=/dev/hda default=1 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora Core 5 (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.img title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 I think I've just got something pointing to the wrong spot, but I don't know how to find out what or how to fix this. Please help...my computer is a big hunk of metal at the moment, and I don't want to touch anything more for fear of messing it up even farther.
