Fedora 9 + Network Manager = Wireless NOT Connecting
Hi,
I would like to know if anyone is having problems getting their wireless connection to actually connect in Fedora 9 using Network Manager? I just installed Fedora 9 on my laptop (Thinkpad R40).* I did not do the 76 updates yet, but out-of-the-box, my wireless won't connect.* The LAN connects just fine, but not wireless.* It's great that network manager does an auto broadcast, now.* I put in my WEP information, which I triple-checked, but it says the connection has disconnected.* I even tried it on WEPless access points and the same thing happens. Skill-set:* I am a linux noob so I do not fully understand all the terms or concepts yet.* I am a Windows power-user, but as you all know that doesn't mean squat with a REAL operating system.* Thanks for your help. -- Marc F.

What wireless card do you have in your laptop?
Olusola I would like to know if anyone is having problems getting their wireless connection to actually connect in Fedora 9 using Network Manager?

> What wireless card do you have in your laptop? > > Olusola >> >> He says he is a total noob, maybe *some* hand holding is in order ( just a kick start) You are responsible for any disaster that may occur if you follow my advice, having said that I have done this myself and not suffered any ill effects, i am just saying we are responsible for our own systems , so ... Open a terminal window. type: su - enter the root password when prompted. Now you are root ( exercise caution when logged in as root, commands run as root can have serious repercussions) Run the command : lspci -v You will get a bunch of hardware information. The only thing that concerns you at the moment is obviously the wireless network card, it should be fairly obvious which one is the wireless card. Something like this might appear in your output : 00:0b.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01) Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Unknown 802.11g mini-PCI Adapter Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 22 Memory at dfff8000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2 Kernel driver in use: rt2500pci Kernel modules: rt2500pci Copy this info to a text file on the desktop or try running this in a terminal instead : lspci -v > /home/<insert your_username_ here>/Desktop/lspci.txt (note: everything between the <> including the <> symbols is to be replaced by your username) That last command will run lspci and redirect its output to a textfile on your desktop named lspci.txt. Remember to use your username in the above command. Spelling counts, spaces count(usually creates errors if they are unnecessary) ,capitalization counts. It must be exact or you will get errors. When done type : exit or just close the terminal. The only thing interesting to this list at this point is the info related to your wireless card. Post this info here please. You should also google to see if your card is supported or maybe the driver is in limbo or something. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list |

Hi,
I tried the "lspci" command, but it says "command not found".* I'm logged in as root, in the terminal.* Also; ifconfig, iwconfig are not found either?* How do I get these back.

Hi,
The PATH variable seems to already have a value in it: PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin As for the locate command I got this error: locate: can not open '/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db' : No such file or directory On Wed, May 28, 2008 at 9:12 PM, Mike Burger <mburger@bubbanfriends.org> wrote: > Hi, > > I tried the "lspci" command, but it says "command not found". *I'm logged > in > as root, in the terminal. *Also; ifconfig, iwconfig are not found either? > How do I get these back.

It's a list of directories to look in. lspci and friends are in /sbin (or sometimes in /usr/sbin). /sbin/lspci etc. will run them.
