I believe the 3945 is pretty common, but I don't know whether the entire stack has been released in a sufficiently open license so that Fedora can just include the complete driver. My recent experience is with the Intel 2100 and more recently the 2200. Most recently, these are just handled by Fedora. But, until about a year ago I got only a wrapper from Fedora, and had to get the rest from code released by Intel on Source Forge. Try going to google.com/linux and putting something like "Intel 3945 Fedora' in the search. Janina
