My old Linksys PCI card blew a gasket a couple weeks ago and I picked up a Linksys WUSB600N USB card for one of my desktops since no one near me sells PCI cards. (I live in Western NC) In Win7 it works fine but in Fedora it doesn't. I've googled everything I can find on getting it working and only get bits from Ubuntu.
Does anyone in the Fedora community have this card working? Or tips on how to make it work? I'm just about to pull it and spend more cash on a PCI card if I can't get this working soon. Help!

There are instructions here that take Fedora into account: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1580657
Alternatively, if the store near you has multiple models, go back and trade it out for one that works properly on Linux with no headaches. There is a list of supported USB wireless network adapters here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Devices/USB

Wait, the WUSB600N is on that list, so it should Just Work. You're not trying it with an older version of Fedora are you? The rt2800usb kernel driver is relatively new.
If you are using a recent version of Fedora, you should probably file a bug against the kernel: http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/kernel

I'm not the OP, but it looks to me as if the model he mentions is on that list.
