My recomendation, that may draw flames would be to forget about FEDORA's
guis for now...
Get it working from the command line. even if you only test it using PING.
I find that FEDORA gui's work fine when the hardware is recognized on
bootup. but special software I find battling the GUI's slow me down
until I understand what the problem is. sometimes you need an updated
driver, or try a different backend. then GUI is a frontend that works
with different backends.
Myself I have to run a Shell script manualy to get my ACX100 chipset to
work... it took me a month or so of tinkering, but I got the card to
work. All I needed was the NDISWRAPER and it worked like a charm. kinda
cheating in the eyes of open source, but what works eh?.... then my guis
recognized it flawlessly.
Again, I bid you fun and luck.
