Think I found it.

It seems that there is a native linux-driver avaible for
this card As
far as I can tell it is rev E1 card. According to
MadWiFi's homepage
it is using a RaLink chipset.
Which seems to be confirmed by the output from lspci.

Now I have downloaded the tar-file (RT61) from RaLinks
homepage, but
obviously it is source code.

My question is then, is there anything more to be done,
apart from
compiling the driver, do I need to re-configure the
kernel or do I
need to recompile it. It is a standard stock FC4 DVD-install.
I guess I need to do a yum update first.
Any recommendations for installing the TAR-file, compiling and
installing the driver would help much.

Now, the driver is compiled, but I'm supposed to edit
/etc/modules.conf

Obviously it has a different name and location in FC, but
which and where

In the readme, it says that the config-file (a text-file) should mbe in
bin-format, what is that?
