    Been using FC2 for about 2-3 months and haven't had many problems at all
    until I decided to install a Cisco 350 PCM wireless card onto my laptop.
    I've spent almost 5 days (8-10 hours a day) and have tried several tips
    online. Purpose: run Wireless tools for auditing, then use ssh2.

    Card shows up (Network config), but will not pull an IP. Here's what I
    tried.

    - found out that I needed 5.30.17 firmware (Cisco site & elsewhere), so I
    changed it back from the latest to that.
    - couldn't use "iwconfig or iwlist", so I checked through Yum and saw that
    Wireless-tools was installed. Needed to run as root
    - got "no wireless extensions" under iwconfig

    Heard from some to use the drivers from Cisco site, while others and audit
    tools say not to use them but airo_cs. FC2 shows airo_cs under lsmod. Some
    of the articles are pretty old, so I'm not sure if they're still applicable
    since they include older linux kernels.

    I'm pretty tenacious, and have dumped WXP almost completely (wireless). The
    card is good because it works well under XP before and after firmware
    change. I would appreciate any direct help here. My eyes are hurting from
    searching, trying, searching, trying...etc. :) But linux is it for me.
    Thanks guys!
