<p class=MsoNormal>Greetings,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve got Fedora 13 installed on my new Dell Studio
laptop. I haven’t had any other issues with the install, and wired
networking is working fine.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I can’t, however, get wireless networking to
work. The card in the laptop is a " Intel Centrino WiMAX 6250
Advanced-N +”. It appears that the system has recognized the card,
but I don’t see any WAPs listed in the network menu at the top-right of
the screen.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve followed section 5.3 of the Wireless Guide from the
Fedora 13 docs collection. Everything looks right, up to step 5 where I’m
supposed to see my WAPs. Two other laptops in the house see my WAP as
well as a few others in the neighborhood. My new Linux box sees nada.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m thinking that maybe this card is too new and isn’t
really supported even though the system recognizes it. Looking at the driver
lists referenced via section 5.2 of the Wireless Guide, I don’t see it
listed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Can anyone tell me for sure if the Intel 6250 is
supported? If so, any ideas as to what’s going on with my new box?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>TIA for any help.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
