What is your wireless NIC? |
Card is Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
|
iwconfig?? (as root)
kernel?? (uname -r) |
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/
Driver should be at the link above, but answer nx5000's questions first. |
uname -r
2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 iwconfig no wireless connections for all interfaces May be wireless is not enabled ..how do i do that? |
you have to install the driver
(because it is proprietary and can not be included in fedora). su - rpm -Uvh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release5.rpm yum install ipw2200-firmware system-config-network& or : http://www.ces.clemson.edu/linux/fc2-ipw2200.shtml |
The FIRMWARE is proprietary, not the driver. You need both and their versions are linked (you can only install firmware x for version y)
It can't be given as source because of some obscure reasons: lawyers of the FCC don't want you to increase the TXpower of the card; at least not too easily. The driver is GPL. To check that you have it you can try: modinfo ipw2200 This will give the version of the driver with which you should know which version of firmware to take (otherwise it wont work) I'm not a fedora users so maybe the commands given by agrouf solve the version thing. Also have a look at rickh link. I'm using it, it works great. |
