It would be a good idea to un-secure your wireless network when troubleshooting wireless devices.

I have a D-Link DWL-650 (J3) PCMCIA card and Fedora Core 6 appears to
recognize the device and sets up wireless devices wifi0 and wlan0, nut
does not find any wireless access points and fails to get an active link
led.

Are there any other troubleshooting commands to get this card working,
or is there a another card I can try?

Thanks,
---d.dembrow

What did you try?

Anyway, you can try:

ip - to see if link is activated

iwconfig - to see wireless parameters assoicated with the interface

iwlist - to scan for APs

Just by throwing "D-Link DWL-650 (J3) PCMCIA" into Google I got after
some clicking this --

Don't anthropomorphize computers. They don't like it.
