Hello Troy, I need to install wireless network in a linux 5 box. I did 
find a spare Linksys Wireless-G 2.4GHz PCI card (model: WMP54G), so would 
you like please tell me if such driver already exists, because when 
listing: /lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.4.el5/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ , it 
seems the only driver I recall, that probably matches here is orinoco???

  Regards, rachid .
