I am getting closer.
I bet you have got a 32-bit installation on your 64-bit opteron. Run uname -a and see if the kernel is i386 (or maybe i686) or x86_64 The 32-bit one is fine, and may be a better choice for avoiding some headaches in things like flash plugins -- but that's another thread. This is fedora core 6, eh? You might try searching on rtl8187 fedora core 6 It's possible later distros may have better support? If you want to experiment without an install, the live-CDs are kinda neat. Try F7/F8, or ubuntu (u7.10 maybe).
