Solved now. Bit of a brown paper bag moment. I must have unknowingly
disabled wifi, but exactly when I was testing that kernel.
Fixed by:
# yum install rfkill
# rfkill list all
0: eeepc-wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes <-- HERE
Hard blocked: no
...
# rfkill unblock all
(Or press [Fn][F2]).
I was just a bit dismayed to see that software blocking wifi removes
the wifi device line from the output of lspci:
01:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X
Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)

AD authentication
by Will Yonker
Hi,
I've just setup a pair of Fedora 18 boxes that I could use
some help with getting them to join the active directory domain we have at
work (2008 I think). What I would like is for users in a particular
group in AD be allowed to log into the Fedora 18 boxes without me having
to create accounts (and manage passwords) on the Fedora boxes. Is
that possible?
Thanks for any help!

firewalld v. libvirtd
by Robert Locke
Just took the leap in to Fedora 18 from 17.
In Fedora 17, I simply added a custom rule in the old
system-config-firewall to point to a file that had a trust of the
libvirt based virbr0 interface.
The new system-config-firewall has me a bit confused....
I would like to keep the new firewalld and it's initial presumption that
my em1 and wlan0 interfaces are in the "public" zone generally not
allowing unsolicited inbound activity. This appears to be the default
OOBE.
I would like to associate the virbr0 interface, created by libvirtd, to
be considered part of the "internal" zone, since I "trust" my own VMs
talking to the host. But, what is the "supportable" method for
accomplishing this? There is no ifcfg- where I could put the firewall
zone....
Thanks in advance,

recommendations for SSD drive as first disk for fedora 18?
by Robert P. J. Day
after a while living with ubuntu, i'm moving back to fedora as of
F18, and would like some advice. i have an ASUS G74S with twin 750G
drives, but i want to replace the boot drive with an SSD, and install
F18 in such a way as to maximize the benefit of the SSD for booting
and (mostly) R/O storage.
a lot of my time will be spent doing lengthy compiles (kernel,
openembedded), so in addition to system content on the SSD, i'll want
to keep all of my source there as well, while the build directories
will be on the regular drive.
is there a recommendation for installing F18 in terms of separating
what's appropriate for the SSD versus what isn't? most of that is
fairly obvious, just wondering if anyone wrote up something about
their experience doing just that and how well it worked for them.
thanks.

unsigned packages on F18
by Dave Stevens
I tried to install Java in Firefox and after the download I get an
error saying the package is unsigned and installation halts. Have got
the same response with another widely used package. Using the x86_64
live spin. What to do?

languages by iPod, hearing more virtuosos by radio, re-decorating their
houses, refreshing themselves with more non-alcoholic thirst-quenchers,
cooking more new, appetizing dishes, affording themselves that little extra
touch which means so much? Or would the whole desperate whirligig slow
down, and the exhausted public relapse upon plain grub and elbow-grease?

booting on Fedora 17/18 with basic video mode
by Rafnews
Hi,
when i boot on Fedora CD/DVD (whatever it is as version 17/18) result of a
blank screen.
to be able to install i need to install with troubleshooting mode and "run
in basic graphic mode"
i have a nvida graphic card so i guess here is the problem.
is there a solution to run in a better resolution than what basic graphic
mode propose ?
if not, i guess i must setup video resolution manually in x11 conf.
where can i find a good tutorial for that point ? because when i tried
Fed17 i had the same problem and i was not able to setup video correctly so
i got a blank screen from restart :(
thx

xorg crashing
by Craig White
upgraded (via preupgrade) to F17 on Saturday and the xorg crashes are
too frequent. The number of bug reports on bugzilla, just from today
(mostly from abrt) simply make it difficult for me to try to make any
sense of them:
(long bugzilla search/sort, not recommended link)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&content=firef...
So a simple description of my setup is...
F17
22" monitor
Nouveau driver with a small xorg.conf because I will max out at 1024x768
unless I have the xorg.conf but the contents are simple [1]
Seems if I try to use Firefox, I am certain to crash xorg.
Seems if I try to copy graphics from Gimp and then paste into
LibreOffice Writer, I am certain to crash xorg
Perhaps someone has been able to solve this issue in a less than perfect
way as it seems to a problem with certain hardware combinations and the
current xorg so I'm putting this on list.
