This is the important bit here.

Which Linux distribution are you using ?

Fedora Core 6 ? You'll have to wait for a Fedora lover/expert to pop in.

On many distro this card (Intel IPW3945) work out-of-the-box (like in Ubuntu Edgy 6.10), but Fedora is not one of them.

Anyway, this how-to on Fedora Core 6 and the IPW3945 seems worth reading :
