Thank you for the responses. <br>

Sound: I used alsamixer and found the speakers in the front of my
computer are NOT working, I get sounds through the head phones only -
very strange.<br>

Wireless: Started working after installing the RPM mentioned above, I
had to reboot twice though. I don't see a WPA security option
though. I will scan the Internet to see if I can solve this one.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 4/25/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Dan Williams</b> <<a href="mailto:dcbw@redhat.com">
