Hi,

You should take a look an ndiswrapper for Fedora:
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/

Download it from that link or get it through your package manager.

Here are installation instructions:

The DWL G520 should be a good card for Linux wireless. I recommend using the drivers from madwifi.org. madwifi is a project to make drivers for cards based on the Atheros chipset (like yours).

It should work out fairly well. From what I remember, there's a decent tutorial on their site somewhere.

To get your wifi working with WPA you will need to install the wpa_supplicant
Here is a link to a very good tutorial on madwifi.org
