802.11g madness

[Cyber Source]

Read the section in the release notes for Core 4 about adding a kernel 
source tree, it's really pretty easy.
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc4/
Probably the hardest thing you'll encounter is where to find the 
*.src.rpm file for your specific kernel, especially if you've upgraded 
it, etc.. You can find them all here,

I can get nice PCI wireless NICS that have native Linux drivers 802.11g 
Cnet CWP-854 for about $45.00. They use the ralink chipset and work 
fantastic! I spent about  a day figuring out that one of my clients 
crappy dlink router was mangling the dns, replaced the router with a 
nice Linksys and voila, rocked on!
