I swapped a USB wired nic for a PCI one last night in my Fedora machine last night. The wireless card (Linksys WMP54G PCI) is recognized by the machine, I see the kernel modules (rt61pci + others) loaded and I can see in /var/log/messages that the hardware's present.
But I can't get NetworkManager to setup the card. I've rebooted the machine and was able to get nm-connection-editor to let me create a new connection based on the mac address of the card. But every time I try to bring it up I get an I/O error.
I know the card works: I took it from a machine that was working perfectly on the network. But I'm not sure of how to proceed with getting the card configured in an already setup machine.
Any recommendations are appreciated.

Hi: Can you paste here your lspci and lsmod? How did you installed the driver? did you get it from here http://www.mediatek.com/_en/07_downloads/01_windows.php?sn=501 ?
Kind regards

No. The driver is the rt61pci and related kernel modules in Fedora. Also, I should say I'm using 32-bit on that specific machine.
