           Summary: It is not clear where the docs are to configure
                    wireless connections
           Product: Fedora Documentation
           Version: devel
          Platform: Unspecified

Description of problem:

Cannot find documentation to help me connect F16 to Wifi.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

F16

How reproducible:

Go to http://fedoraproject.org/ and click "Need Help? Get it here" then follows
steps.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-help under "Top 5 questions from the FAQ"
click #2 i.e. "How do I configure network connections?"
2. Only the last line of the FAQ entry looks like it might help: "Also refer to
the Fedora Wireless Guide at docs.fedoraproject.org to learn more about
wireless, and its implementation in Fedora. "

Actual results:

After some searching I find that the "Wireless Guide" only exists for F13 and
possibly earlier. I don't know why this is. Should I expect it to help me or is
it obsolete?

Expected results:

Expect to find a "Wireless Guide" that is clearly applicable to F16 because I
have been referred to it.

Additional info:

Despite my 20+ years of linux experience I still haven't got Fedora 16 working
and am stuck with Fedora 14. The irony is that I spend much of my time at work
helping people administer Red Hat. Frankly I am puzzled. I feel like I am
walking through treacle. Maybe I am too old? Do most users have weeks of free
time to devote to setting up a Fedora system?
