I've got a Linksys WPC54GS PCMCIA card that works great but I had to 
add the BW drivers.  I've also got a Linksys WUSB54GC USB dongle that 
works with the rt73 drivers that are already loaded with F8.  I 
cannot tell you how many hours I have spent trying to get wireless to 
work.  FC6 and F7 I never could get to work.  F8 is pretty easy.

I'm seriously considering going to Fry's to buy a dozen or two USB 
adapters, bringing them home and getting them to work on F8 and then 
selling them to everybody else that can't seem to get wireless up and 
running.
