Hello. I recently decided to abandon Windows and put Fedora Core 4 on my laptop. Unfortunetly, I now can't access the internet via my wireless PCMCIA card, and the only way I CAN access the internet is to sit in my boiler room and connect to the router directly.
My laptop is running Fedora Core 4, and is (to my knowledge) fully updated. I have one other computer (a laptop running Windows XP) that still works flawlessly with the connection.
The connection itself is Comcast Wireless Ethernet, the PCMCIA card is Comcast's special brand.
Any way I can get my wireless connection up and running again?
(By the way, money is no object.)

You need to find out what chipset the comcast card is using and check for support:

"lspci" and "cat /proc/pci" may help you.If there is no native GNU/Linux support you may be able to use driverloader or ndiswrapper and windoze drivers:
