Wireless ethernet adapter

[Michael E. Slowinski]

Hello fellow enthusiasts/developers,

I did a clean install of Fedora Core 1 today on my NEC laptop.
I'm trying to get a Linksys wireless adapter to work so I can access the
Internet. I noticed the adapter doesn't appear in the wireless connection
list.
How can I get it activated? Should Linux have recognized it at startup?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
