[wellylug] Asus Z8100 Fedora 3/4 USB Wireless Networking

[Richard & Debbie Morris]

Good evening.

I have purchased a Dick Smith Laptop - an Asus Z8100 with Windoze XP and
installed and updated Fedora 3.  All runs sweetly until I add a wireless
network to my office.  Suddnely I find that the integrated wireless usb
802.11b adapter is not found under fedora.  I have found out that it is
a SIS-162.

2 weeks later I have read so many contradictory things I have no idea if
it is possible to make this work across my wireless network and I am at
my wits end.

HELP!!

Is there a simple, easy to follow way of 1.) recognising hardware and
2.) making the blinking thing work.  

I have tried using linuxant driver loader service with no joy.  Also
when i try to make a network connection, the network wizard wont see the
usb hardware.

I am a great proponent of linux and how easy it is to make things go as
long as its neither network or usb related.

Hope someone can help me

Regards

Richard

PS I am running the lastest kernal update as of today
