I'm so close to getting the Intel 3945 wireless connection to work on FC5. I've install the 80211 stuff and now I've been working on the IPW3945 stuff... it will actually connect to my access point, but I still cant get on the web (I'm a bit of a newbie so I probably just don't know how)... plus should I have to enable it from root like this?

Do you use encryption on your AC? Then you need to specify the passphrase in order to connect through it.

I wanted to get it working first... so I turned off encryption (all security) on my access point...

Okay, you can then access your router...

Do you have static IP from ISP or do you get one with DHCP?

How have you configured your router? Does it bridge the connection or route it?

Does it act as a DHCP-server?
