Fedora 10 and Wifi

First I will say that fedora was such an easy install. I partition my hard drive into 2 sections 70gb each, one for xp and one for fedora. After I booted into fedora for the first the wifi was on and worked for around 25 minutes. The strange thing was my wifi network was being shown as visible but the wep password wouldn't work. I began to get nervous so I booted back into xp and turned the wifi switch off, then back on and everything went back to normal. Upon booting into fedora I started experiencing the same problems again where the wifi works for a while then stops. Is anyone having problems with the wifi in fedora?

btw my bios is 3305 maybe I should update it

 

I'm using F10 XFCE spin and WiFi works fine. No disconnects and and no disappearing access points. However I don't use WEP, so I don't know how well that works.

 

I actually updated to bios 3308 and things seem to be back to normal.

 

wifi seems to work better if you switch to the madwifi driver (use add/remove software)

 

could i have some idiots isntructions to installing madwifi drivers in fedora 10 , thanks for the help so far

 

rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fed ... noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/ ... noarch.rpm
