Help a poor newbie with a Prism54 device installation issue..

[Efalunt]

Disclaimer: I am a complete newbie to Linux

I'm running Fedora Core 5 and the device is an IOGear Wireless-G USB 2.0 Adapter, Model number GWU513, which should be a Prism54 chipset device.
I'm told the prism54 driver is natively supported, and modprobe prism54 seems to work since lsmod then shows prism54 in the list of modules.
lsusb says the card is being detected, but it doesn't seem to be working (ifconfig -a doesn't show either wlan0 or eth1, although the GUI says wlan0 is associated with ndiswrapper, which I had tried earlier) ..and I haven't the faintest idea what to do next.

Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

what does dmesg | tail say after you modprobe prism54

[Efalunt]

It just lists a bunch of junk and then says "Loaded prism54 driver, version 1.2", nothing else.

and by junk I mean several lines of this sort of stuff:

audit(1152818120.291:14): avc: denied { use } for pid=2615 comm="bluez-pin" name="[7759]" dev=pipefs ino=7759 scontext=root:system_r:bluetooth_helper_t:s0-s0:c0.c255 tcontext=system_u:system_rdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c255 tclass=fd

EDIT:
One other thing I noticed, when I plug the card in, dmesg says:
usb 1-1.3: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8
usb 1-1.3: not running at top speed; connect to a high speed hub
usb 1-1.3: no configuration chosen from 1 choice

what is the output of

lsusb -v | grep bcdUSB

AND

lspci | grep USB

AND

lsmod | grep ehci-hcd

It looks like we'll be using a different USB card now (DWL-G122)..but thanks for taking the time to help. Hopefully we won't have any problems with the new one..but just in case, keep an eye out for another desperate plea from me on Monday haha.
