Wow Wi-Fi!

Much against all my expectations, I've managed to get my Belkin 802.11g 7010 wireless PCMCIA card to work along with Fedora Core 3! I'm such a happy bunny! All thanks are due to the ndiswrapper project at sourceforge. What a great piece of kit that wrapper is, I could use my MS Windows drivers through the wrapper to make the modules for my kernel. Brilliant! Now I'm trying to work out why I ever installed windows? This is how Linux/Unix should work...
PS It's also really great as now I don't have to buy my driver from Linuxant! I will make a little donation to the guys at ndiswrapper though...
