Wireless Card
 

Yes I have a dell laptop and i am using FC9 and i can't get my wi-fi card to work can anyone help me

What card is it? Can you post the output of lsusb?

No I can't I believe that it is brodcomm wi-fi card that is all i know

The card is build in not pcmcia

The wi-fi card Shows up in network configuration under hardware as b43 but the only on that shows up under hardware is my NIC no my wi-fi how can i fix this and get my wi-fi enabled and working

Sorry i ment the only thing that show up on devices is my NIC

lspci is probably the command you want to list your internal Wireless NIC.. other options are lspcmcia and lsusb

Fedora apparently has a relatively easy way to handle these cards..

How would i be able to do that without being conntected to the internet right i am using my desktop

For the duration of setting it up you could plug your desktop's cable to your laptop.

try that keeps telling me device unmanaged
and won't connected to any thing this about to give me a headace

What exactly have you tried? Can you plug a network cable to the laptop, open the command line and as root type: ifconfig and iwconfig (please post the output of both commands).

Thanks for all your help but i just switched to unbuntu and got it to work
didn't want to but i gave up on fedora
