I install fedora 9 on presario v3742au, but the wireless can't be used. I download the driver, but can't install it.What should I do?
Thanks in advance.
You should start by posting some specific details about the hardware, the driver, and what you've tried so far. Perhaps with that actual information someone can suggest solutions.
