fedora 8 wifi connect problem
 
I got the bcm 4306 functioning, it will see the network but it will not connect endless loop of entering the wpa password. works fine with a usb wifi. Actually have to enter keyring password for it. the BCM 4306 doesn't The other computers in the house I had to setup a new wireless connection then it would connect. This laptop will not let me select create new wireless connection. can anybody tell me out to make that work. I installed iscdhcp in a effort to make the bcm 4306 to see the network any ideas before I replace the PCI Card. I am wondering if the problem is the card or settings.
Please help
Thank you
Craig

Try it using the command-line tools.

Assume that your wireless device is wlan0, network name is "fred" and WEP key is "password":

ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig (to verify that wlan0 is there and UP)
iwconfig wlan0 essid fred key s:password
dhcpcd wlan0

To do the equivalent for WPA, look at the man page for iwconfig
