Hi there.
I've just installed Fedora Core 4 on a partition on my PC which runs windows XP as well. I have cable modem broadband and it works fine in windows. How do I set up Internet access from Linux? Thanks in anticipation  |

If you connect through USB then, if you are not there already, tell us what USB device you use (see what driver is used under Windows XP). Robert |

What sort of wireless network card do you have, or more specifically, what is the wireless chip on your card and how is it attached to your computer? Some wireless chips are not supported by Linux.

What is your wireless card? Linux does not support all wireless cards, though a great many can work with ndiswrapper. |

It does work - I've used one myself! Robert |
