Actually, I have just been off-line for a few days because of that.
I recently decided to upgrade from RH9 to Fedora 6. Everything went OK,
except for my Linksys wireless usb adapter. I had had problems with it on
RH9, but had been able to fix them. I figured that by now usb support
would be transparant ... It actually is much better for usb storage keys,
but for the Linksys product, things have apparently worsened. I finally got
fed up and gave up, and went to a shop for the "obvious" solution (to me):
an wireless ethernet adapter ... except they didn't have such a thing
(only usb gear, often with "Windows only" warnings.)

But I found a different solution: I bought 2 Netgear "wall-plugged"
ethernet bridges. So I'm now using the electrical power network in
my house as an ethernet connection between my desktop and my
Internet router. Seems to work great! And also faster & more reliable
than my previous wireless connection.
