[nylug-talk] A good guide to install wireless cards? (was: Welcometo the "nylug-talk" mailing list)

You used a lot of words... And stilll didn't give the specifics of your setup.

... You want a generic guide...

1. Get drivers for you card

2. Put your card in

3. Modprobe the drivers

I'm not trying to be a jerk... But specifics matter, especially with technology.

Google gentoo madwifi ... There is a gentoo wiki I read when I set up my atheros based card.

Maybe I should rephrase what I'm looking for since I'm getting here the  same thing as Google, a number of very specific caveats but not the  installation method itself. 
  
  What I am looking for is a basic, step by step guide to installing a  pcmcia wireless card under linux (that is, a distro-agnostic  installation guide) that gives the basic approach that underlies the  specific distro installation methods. 
  
  I am *also* looking for a step by step guide to installing a new  wireless card in FC6. It doesn't have to be a g, I'd actually just like  to find a guide that tells you in a straightforward way how to install  *any* wireless card, (such as an Orinoco Silver!) 
  
  After looking at a hundred or so Google hits I have found lots of  instructions for highly specific instances but I'm just looking for the  basic installation method. 
  
  This is a lot of words to describe something I thought would be the top search result. 
  
  being hopeful, 
  
  Matt
