Hi,

Being involved with linux now for a long time, I have always researched the level of linux compatibility before buying any new hardware. I recently needed to buy a cheap wireless USB adapter (cheap because, i think i'd probably use it only a couple months before my laptop's bmc4310 wireless card is nicely supported -- ehe, that's an entirely different topic -- no, i have not got it to work on Fedora 10).

Use the package bm43-fwcutter. Check out the spelling on google. In Ubuntu it is available as an Apt package so Yum should also have it. After installation it automatically asks if you want to download the firmware. Say yes and let it do the needful. Thats it. Reboot your system and start using wireless.
