I just use an Ethernet Bridge. Its compatable with just about every linux distribution because your tricking linux into thinking that your connecting to a LAN when you really are connecting to a WLAN

Yeah put my cards installation CD is in .EXE form and since Linux doesn't use .EXE I don't know how to install it. :/

I'd do what Surferdude did. And linux will autodetect it ;)

Read all the instructions. I haven't tested these out, but my friends using Fedora said it was great.

Read all the instructions and follow what it says. I'll read it sometime later if I have time and will post about what you need to do.

I have it on a disk now. I'll try and install it on my laptop later.
