Question MN-510 USB Adapter
Can anyone give me some direction on installing a Microsoft USB Wifi adapter (I know, it's what I already had) on a Compaq laptop running FC3. The USB adapter is model 3 MN-510. Hardware Browser sees the usb adapter, including model number, but I've not been able to figure out what settings I need to use.

I'm a newbie to Linux, I installed FC3 less than a week ago, and have most things working, except for sound (which was working) , and the usb adapter. I have been able to get wired networking to work.

Tommy

Alternatively, does anyone know which brand and model number of USB wifi adapters that definetely works with FC3? My PCMCIA slot does not work, or I would use that. The slot did not work when using XP either, so the slot not working is not a Linux problem.

Thanks

Tommy

You need to use the drivers from linux-wlan.org I don't think HostAP supports USB yet...
