Do you still have Windows installed?
Boot Windows and make sure the wireless works.
When I bought that laptop, it was shipped with Windows Vista.
I bought another HD, and installed F8.
Using windows vista, the wifi works fine.

Try again. If the problem persists, we need to know what wireless you
have. As root,
lspci
This is it :
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN
Network Connection (rev 61)
Having identified the wireless card, post the result of
lspci -vvn -s <whatever the card is>
