Wireless Problem

[Vince Radice]

Thank you for the quick response.  Some of the posts that I looked at 
indicated success with what was available, but they never came back with 
the proper list of what worked.

     As for my question about b43-fwcutter, do I do something with this 
or is it done behind the scenes by a driver?

     Also, some have had success with the STA drivers.  I believe that I 
have installed them with yum.  How can I tell if they are being used?  
Can I somehow tie those drivers with my usb adapter?

Again, thanks,

Vince Radice
