Hi, Ranfea

I've never done any wireless so can't help directly, but take a look through this HowTo to see if it might help solve your wireless problem(s):

Opening .exe files in FC 6

I need to open a .exe file which hopefully contains my wireless card's .info file, so I can install the driver.
The problem I'm tackling now is trying to open the .exe file, or finding a direct download for the .inf file for my driver.

I could use some help. ^^

There are actually three ways that you can try. The first, as mentioned above is this:
Code:
> cabextract <your_driver>.exe
This will give an error if there are no cab files in it. You then could try this:
Code:
> unzip <your_driver>.exe
This may not work either. The last method requires using an application named wine. First make sure you have wine installed, and enter this:
Code:
> wine <your_driver>.exe
This will attempt to run the actual Windows installer. Don't let it install to the default directory. Create a folder for it and "install" it there. That is where the diver files will be.
