Just an off the wall suggestion: take a close look and see if
there's a tiny hardware switch that turns wireless on/off,
somewhere on the side of the laptop. <br>

Tried that, there is a surface tap switch just like the one for
Audio. It has no effect since Fedora was installed. <br>
<br>
The root of the problem seems to be that this version of Fedora
does not want to activate the wireless. My HP G64 with the same
software version has no problems whatsoever! It is indeed
frustrating.<br>

I am having the same problem. Every since I had install Fedora 16,
my nvidia drivers won't compile. I get an error message that says
iwlan won't compile. I think it is a firmware problem.<br>
