Wireless will not work.
Hi, I've currently switched over to Fedora and I've found wireless wont work.
I can't really get my head around it. I know it's installed. I ran lspci and saw this, 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) which is good news, but Linux doesn't seem to automatically detect any wireless networks setup. So my question is, what should I do? This is on a laptop and I'd like the ability to be wireless, obviously I'm wired up right now. |

The drivers for AR9285 are already in kernel. You should make sure that ath9k driver is loaded (it may be the ath5k but you can easily check on that). You'll need network manager packages and possibly wicd installed and you're good to go. :)
ciao, jdk |

Is NetworkManager running? Does the network manager applet appear in your panel? If NM is running but you don't see the applet, try running the applet program (nm-applet) manually from a terminal window. clicking on the applet should enable you to connect to your wireless network.

please provide the following info:
Code:
lspci # will tell us the pci devices you have in your system. |
