Have you updated to the latest kernel in FC4?
uname -a
yum update
The card is being detected and the drivers are installed. Here is
the
output from dmesg.
Are you using NetworkManager?
airport 8096 0
orinoco 49108 1 airport
hermes 8992 2 airport,orinoco
Here is the output from iwconfig. I have put the card in managed mode
and set the essid. I have even forced the router to use channel 3 2422
mhz with no results.

Does anyone have an original airport card working under Fedora Core 4?
Any help would be appreciated.
Yes I have had this working on an iBook and a iMac (though no longer on
FC4), are you using WEP at all?
