Well, according to the madwifi wiki site, that card will work with the
MadWifi drivers. http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility#WPC55AG

They also have a First Time HowTo for help installing and setting up at
http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo

Just a warning, the guide shows the steps for compiling the drivers from
scratch. You might be able to find something more specific to FC 5 by
looking at the Fedora forums (http://forums.fedoraforum.org) or by
searching Google, either

I haven't done this, so I do not know how, or if, it will work.
