Now try 'iwlist scan' (again, as root). If the card works physically you should see a list of nearby access points. That means there is a strong chance of being able to get it to work, you just have to configure it correctly :-) Also, make sure the radio is physically turned on! On some laptops (e.g. Toshibas) there's a small switch to turn it on and off. poc -- <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c">fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</a> </div></div></blockquote></div> Hi, I did the "iwlist scan" and I noticed it did scans for: lo, eth1, wifi0, eth0, irda0, and pan0. My wireless device, according to Network Configuration is eth0. I find that weird; in prior distros wireless devices where labeled wlan0, wlan1, etc. The scan did pick up something for wifi0 and eth0. Does that mean that they are conflicting in some way? Overall; it looks like NetworkManager isn't playing nice with my wireless card and I'll have to do manual scans and configuring in order to get it to work? -- Marc F.
