Dell Latitude 110L - Wireless reads as ethernet
 

Greetings all,
** I am trying to get the built in wireless to work on a Dell laptop Latitude 110L with Fedora 14 - when I run ip addr I get output that wlan0 is link/ether - I believe this is my problem. I've check multiple forums and cannot find a trouble shooting procedure to resolve this issue. When trying to activate the wireless I receve a "cable not connected" error. The system reads it as wlan0 but the link/ether leads me to believe this is a configuration error with the wireless.

*
Any suggestions or pointers in the right direction is appreciated.

Tom

Hi Tom,

could you do "lspci" in a terminal and post the result here so we can
see which wifi chipset is used in your Latitude.

Tom,

as you have a Broadcom 4306 chipset and you have not done so, maybe
trying this tutorial could solve your problem:

Let me know if it worked! :)
