    hi stig,
    I got a no name usb2.0 card working with my dell inspiron 4000, but I'm
    using the beta kernel 2.6.0. it seems not to work with vanilla 2.4.2x,
    since its usb 2.0, and i needed the wlan-config (no pcmcia-modules from
    the kernel, but pcmcia-cs package), which didn't support usb2.0.

    I don't know if redhat / fedora backported some features, but maybe you
    are lucky.

    i guess the chipsets in pcmcia-usb-controllers are so generic that the
    manufacturer of the card shouldn't be much of a point.

    hope that helped,

    jan
