Cannot get my WiFi to work
My WiFi does not work although the kernel seems to support it. I will list the output of a few commands.
Code:
lspci|grep -i network

The first router listed here (Cell 01) is my WiFi router. So it seems that I can even scan the routers properly. Please give me commands so that I can get the WiFi up and running.
P.S. I am using Fedora 13 and the configuration through the graphical interface does not work. The GUI also does not work for normal LAN connections, so I never had faith in it anyway.
