</div>A simple "su" gives you root privileges with *your* shell environment,<br>
while "su -" gives you the full root shell, as if you had logged in at the<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>Excellent, thanks for that info. Here is the result of lspci:<br>
<br>

<br>
What can I learn from this info? Based on all the threads I'm guessing my wireless card isn't completely compatible with Fedora 9. The funny thing is everything works except for making the actual connection to a wireless network though.<br>
