Wireless camera under Fedora

I have a Linksys WVC54GCA camera running under Fedora-12.
This camera can be connected under Ethernet or WiFi.
The theory is that you connect it under Ethernet
and set it up, and it then runs under WiFi.

I find that while it works for one dhcpd lease
(or possibly two leases) it seems always to fail then.

As I want to run it at a remote site (in another country)
this is not much use.
I don't see anything in /var/log/messages to explain this.
The camera does not seem to ask for renewal of its lease.

Assuming that this is something to do with the camera,
I wonder if anyone has advice on a suitable WiFi camera
for this purpose?
I guess I'd prefer a tilt and shift camera,
if such is available for a reasonable sum.

If anyone has experience of running such a camera
under Fedora or CentOS I should very much like to hear
your experience.
