Hello all| Im still newbie in Fedora. Been trying to get my wireless card in my pc to hook up with linksys WRT54G router. Been 3 days trying but to now avail. Hope somebody can help.
1. Belkin card unable to scan or connect to the linksys AP
2. Wlan0 cant be activated with dhcp option, only with static ip.
3. Even when wlan0 is activated, I cant surt the internet.
4. I even tried to connect my eth0 directly to the modem, can ping to internet but still cannot do browsing
5. Tried to activate network manager services, but once started, it will crash my FC8
Below is copy of commands I used during the installation. Really need some help here. Thx and really appreciate any help.
