My Learning of Linux

I won't say that it is impossible to get wireless cards working on Fedora, I know there are some out there working...
Keep in mind, however, that I am new to this whole Linux thing...I tried for 6 hours to get my NetGear WG511T up and running...it didn't work.
I followed 3 different procedures on line, and worked at it from all 3 different angles for several hours each...

So, I have come to the conclusion that I need a different wireless card, or reinstall Windows XP Pro on my wife's machine.

I tried MadWiFi, NDISWrapper, and AntLinux's solutions. None of them worked.

So...any suggestions?

I will let you know how it ends up...but for now, it looks like I hardwire it for a while.

>>>UPDATE<<<

I have another Wireless Card, the WMP300N from LinkSys. I installed NDISWrapper and it was recognized using the windows drivers. Then I had to get WPA_Supplicant, which installed and gave no issues, but I cannot get it to run.
It seems that, without native drivers, wireless just does not seem to want to run on Linux.

I have been talking to LinkSys, but they are incredibly slow, to see if they can provide any linux drivers, after all, they use linux in their firmware and NAT routers...

I will let you know how it pans out.

Another Update:
Nothing from LinkSys...
