HI people, I'm using FC6. I'm trying to connect to the internet through a wireless connection. I installed the driver for my Edimax wireless card (Ralink chipset; rt2500 driver downloaded from serialmonkey (the cvs driver)). The point is, when I go to 'System>Administration>Network', my wireless card is recognized and I can see it in the list of wireless devices; so I go and configure it: since I'm behind a wireless router using a wep encryption, I select my ESSID and put the card in 'managed' mode (as it is on my ubuntu), then I check the 'Obtain the IP automatically by dhcp' option (or something like that), I put my wep key, etc., but when I try to activate the card it says 'failed' but doesn't give me the details why it failed.
I've also tried with NetworkManager but it just can't connect.
As a side note, my router is using wep encryption (64 bits). I tried setting up NetworkManager to use wep encryption 64 bits (ASCII), but it can't connect.
Any hints on how to solve this?? I know it must be very easy, but I must be missing something here
Problems setting up a wireless conection (FC6)
). When I managed to connect to the internet yum was slow as hell (I'm used to apt-get/aptitude/synaptic, which I find to be really very fast and versatil tools). What I did was to install openSUSE 10.2 on the FC6 partition and, after installing the driver for my wireless card, it's working like a charm (yes, the Yast software tool is not that fast as apt-get when retrieving the list of packages from the repositories, but at least is faster than yum, and I liked very much the way SuSE looks).
