OK i know there is a progam in Fedora that will show u all the stats for your wireless ethernet. For some reason when i Reinstalled it i think i forgot to select that package. Now I can't seem to find it in the add remove programs program. Does anyone know what heading its located under in there?

ok. Whats the easy way to load that rpm? I cant seem to see it in the add/remove program off the toolbar.

Just pop in each CD and browse for it. I couldn't find it in the Add/Remove Applications tool either. Then again I don't use that tool so if someone else knows where it is speak up. The other place to get it is at dag's repository. Do a google search for rpm dag and you can get apt from his site and just apt-get it.
