Anyone able to connect using wireless network with Fedora 6 and asus p5w dh?
It seems fedora 6 is not able to recognize the wireless hardware from asus p5w dh (missing driver?). Anyone can help?

Link is here:
asus p5w dh

Chipset is : Intel 975X +Intel ICH7R 1066/800MHz

For wireless networking it has: ASUS WiFi-AP Solo

I'm able to setup this for windows XP. But i want to dual boot with linux. I'm only able to access internet wirelessly (sharing with housemate), thus I need to be able to use wifi with linux.

Help please? Thx.

Last I checked ASUS didn't make wifi chipsets so that means nothing. Boot into Linux and run lspci and see what that says.

The wireless chipset, not the chipset on the motherboard.
