<div dir="ltr">Got a laptop with both an l Ethernet connection and a wireless connection. During the install I only configured the Ethernet connection with a static ip. So that worked. I could connect to my internal lan and do yum updates. Now I want to get the wireless working but find that in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory there is only a ifcfg-eth0 (and ifcfg-lo). There is nothing like wlan0 or ifcfg-eth1. When is the configuration file for the wireless card suppose to be created or how do I create it? In the output of dmesg are the following lines: iwl4965: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN driver for Linux, 1.3.27kds iwl4965: Copyright(c) 2003-2008 Intel Corporation PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:05:00.0 to 64 iwl4965: Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5300AGN REV=0x24 iwl4965: Tunable channels: 13 802.11bg, 24 802.11a channels The output of /sbin/iwconfig: lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wmaster0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 pan0 no wireless extensions.
