Hi,

I am on Fedora 5 32+ bit as my OS. I do not have a wireless capability on my pc so I am using a USB 2 wireless adapter. The model is Compoint EVWL-GI-700S and it is not picking up the signals at all. The router model is Linksys D-Link Wireless Router G604T/UK V.A1. Can any one help me please? Thanks

Er, sorry I misread. Since it's a USB device, the output of lspci is useless. I haven't been able to find any mention of the USB device you speak of on the web, and certainly not any Linux drivers. Anyway, what's the output of running iwconfig (as root)?

You might want to try lsusb
