Fedora 16 wireless help!
I've recently switched from Ubuntu 10 to Fedora 16 and I can't
get my wireless device to be detected in my laptop. I have a Dell Vostro 1510 that is partitioned with Windows 7 and Fedora.
I can connect with ethernet but wireless is much more convenient.
I ran a script to get all my wireless info:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
# This script will find the needed information for
# wireless troubleshooting.
# Name this file WirelessSetup
cd ~/
touch wireless_setup.txt
echo ============ lspci ============ >> ~/wireless_setup.txt

The output was a bit lengthy:
