Need wifi drivers for fedora!!!!
 

please somebody help me gimme any link, code, any thing will work.

<<mod edit: removed advertising in sig>>

Hya,

What kind of hardware?

If you want to advertise here, please see the links at the bottom of the page.

If your question is real:

You want a wifi driver for your wireless card. Once you have the driver, it will work with any Linux. To help you, we would need to know what the card is.

i really need the drivers n i don kno wat type of card it is
i can tell u that my laptop is dell studio 15.And sorry abt the link i didn't kno there were such strong rules.

anup;

Please do not use texting shorthand here---spell out your words.

The link was removed because it appeared to be advertising that was unrelated to your question. After you have been here for a while, you'll see what kinds of things are generally allowed.

Here are the specs for your laptop: (found using Google)
http://www.dell.com/us/en/home/noteb...55&cs=19&s=dhs

Have you checked for drivers using the Fedora package manager? e.g.: just do a search on "Dell". Also, copy the exact words from the spec, add "linux drivers", and search on Google

You can doublecheck the card type by issuing: /sbin/lspci on the command line.

I checked the hardware n the card is "Dell Wireless 1397 802.11g Half Mini-Card" can somebody please tell me how to get drivers for this.

Can you post the output of /sbin/lspci (the line about wireless)? Google shows it'll be broadcom, let's see exactly which one.
Can you also post the output of ifconfig and iwconfig?

output of /sbin/lspci

It seems that it's got an Intel wifi card.
There are some relatively recent posts on the internet suggesting downloading firmware / recompiling the kernel to enable support for that card. Which kernel are you using (output of 'uname -r')?

Perhaps, someone has a more up-to-date info on the inclusion of (iwlwifi-5000-ucode?) in a Fedora kernel.

As the last resort, you could probably install a windows wifi driver for this laptop using ndiswrapper.
