My wife's HP Pavilion is driving me
crazy.* It is a built in Wireless
setup (Centrino built-in chip).* Every time I try to activate

message!
Yum info rfkill returns that rfkill is not installed.* I am
lost, do I
need to install rfkill and then issue an unblock command?
I have tried everything else but do not want to install
something I do
not need.
Just an off the wall suggestion: take a close look and see if
there's a tiny hardware switch that turns wireless on/off,
somewhere on the side of the laptop.
Tried that, there is a surface tap switch just like the one for
Audio.* It has no effect since Fedora was installed.*
The root of the problem seems to be that this version of Fedora
does not want to activate the wireless.* My HP G64 with the same
software version has no problems whatsoever!* It is indeed
frustrating.
I am having the same problem. Every since I had install Fedora 16,
my nvidia drivers won't compile. I get an error message that says
iwlan won't compile. I think it is a firmware problem.

All things are workable but don't all things work.
