I got it working with the help of Fedora IRCers. NetworkManager detected
the wifi connection and I set it up. I couldn't get it to work with WEP
enabled. I'm using WPA. I will post the information on how to set-up
that D-Link adapter with the wifi router I'm using once I get some
insight.
Thanks for all the help.
