wireless fedora

[Samuel Teyemensah]

I have successfully installed fedora on some of my collegues laptops. However, the wireless devices on those laptops could not work. In fact I could not configure wireless on the machines most hp, acer and dell. Is it that fedora does not have wireless drivers for these laptops. if it has, then someone should help me out with the configuration of wireless network connections.

You may want to try a more appropriate list such as:

Hi Samuel

Check the correct lists for greater help:

https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-laptop-list

Even us Ambassadors have to seek help,
from more qualified members\users.

Hello Samuel...
            without the details on the wireless cards present on the
laptops, it would be tough to answer your queries on any of the lists
especially one meant for ambassadors. The drivers for atheros,intel,
broadcom and ralink devices etc is available....Pls check your system config
regarding the type of card and also read the archives of the linux-wireless
mailing lists...

Yea I know exactly what he is talking about. We had this same problem at
school...(using Ubuntu) Ours were recognizing the cards, but not turning
them on. It just flat out refused. I found a few questions but no answers on
any Linux forums. I think what we ended up doing was using external Wireless
NIC's and it seemed to work, although at times it got spotty.

Do you happen to know what wireless card the machines have in them?

Type 'lspci', this should tell you what wireless card is installed in the 
machine.  Then install the Yum configuration files for rpmfusion.org (
http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration).  They should have the necessary 
kernel modules for the wireless cards.
