    Yes, there are many who have laptops with the many Intel hardware 
devices working under F7. But please give us more information. It is 
possible your not using the right software.

    Please do this: As a root do # lspci | grep wireless and if no 
output just #lspci and make sure you see and understand the hardware.

Now goto the web page http://linux-wless.passys.nl/ and find your 
hardware and the software you will need.

    Now use this # modprobe filename and if it says "no such file" your 
kernel does not have the software you need.

    Please do this and let us know the results
