Dlink DWL-G650 driver for Fedora 6
by Bobby Meeker
Hi.
I just installed Fedora 6 on my IBM thinkpad 600x. I'm a computer engineer by trade and have often worked in Unix development environments, but this is my first foray into the realm of Linux.
I have a dlink DWL-650 (revB) PCMCIA wireless card which I want to use to connect to the internet. My labtop is pretty useless to me if I cant get online.
Trouble is I can not seem to be able to find a linux driver for this card. I queried DLINK and got forwarded to the madwifi.org site. But their drivers only seem to work with a Atheros chipset, which I do not have. I tried anyways and sure enough the make failed.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how I might be able to make my DWL-650 card work with Linux? Does anybody know of PCMCIA wireless cards that come with linux drivers/support?
Thanks
bobby

Cisco MPI 350 wireless Adapter
by Sripathy K
Hi,
I recently installed FC6 on my T42. The wireless connection doesnot work.
The airo driver seems to be present but the NetworkManager fails to
configure this adapter.
I have done a bit of googling and found a few old threads which recomend
downgrading the wireless adapters' firmware. Is this a necessity even now?
I did download from cisco website the linux-acu-driver-v21.tar.gz driver,
but it fails to compile on this machine.
Any ideas on how to get this working?
Thanks for your help.
Sripathy

Kernel Sources
by Ken Ramey
I have a NetGear WiFi card that I have been using on a laptop by
"LinuxCertified" for a few years now. Unfortunately, the card uses the
"Atheros" chip set and requires a kernel driver to be built in order to
work. Lately, I have been unable to find the kernel sources for my
Fedora system in order to update the driver . Can anyone suggest a
source for the sources? Ideally, a "yum" repository so that the kernel
sources will track my kernel upgrades. I am currently at 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6
Failing that, does anyone know of a WiFi card that works "out of the
box" with Fedora Core 6?
Either solution would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

intel pro/set wireless
by Andrew Raggett
Hi
I am having difficulty getting Fedora core 6 to recognise my wireless
adapter. It is not listed and the wifi button isn't highlighted. I have
tried to follow online instructions but they are too complicated for my
non-programming mind, yet this is the only thing that isn't working on
this otherwise flawless (so far) platform
Anyone who has a bit of patience please could you help out? What do I
need to look for? Is it really that difficult to get it working?!
cheers

Two linux systems?
by Andrew Raggett
Hi
I have just installed fedora core 6 on my latitude and noticed when I
select the boot menu there appear to be two versions installed along
with my windows xp OS - the boot screen gives 3 options:
Fedora Core (2.6.19-1.2895.fc6)
Fedora Core (2.6.19-1.2798.fc6)
Windows XP
It seems to default to the first one but what are these two?
Grateful for any help

Re: Fedora-laptop-list Digest, Vol 9, Issue 11
by Erick Muller
don't worry about that is just the system has updated the kernel package I recommend you to leave this configuration so if you notice a behaviour of something in your system you can rollback to the previous and stablest version of the kernel, remember that the kernel is the heart of your linux system and it's always updating and improving

Re: Fedora-laptop-list Digest, Vol 9, Issue 11
by David Dembrow
The same thing happened to me after I updated everything via yum
update. One of the update packages is the kernel. However, one
typically does not replace the kernel unless it is a known good kernel -
so the previous is always available in case the new kernel fails.
In your case the 2798 kernel is the one before an update and the 2895
kernel is the one that was updated and should be used as the default.
Hope that helps. Of course I probably don't know what I am talking about.

I did not use dyn IP and I have no DHCP server running either. I setup
static IP using script in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d
The problem is the nameserver IP setup by NM was incorrect, I need to
fix it but confuse which file to be edited.
