I suppose it's trivial, but I haven't learned how to
check the BIOS. (I haven't done the fedora
installation myself and so far I have only been a
user).  About the wireless being enabled, I answer
your other questions below. 

>(2) Is there a hardware power switch for the

there is a switch for the wireless and it is on.  I
know that the wireless is activated because I have
dual boot and the wireless works on Windows. 

>(3) What is the output of lspci -v?

I copy it at the end of this message. In it, I see a
relevant piece of information: "Intel Corporation
PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection"

>(4) Is this machine dual-boot?  Does the card work
>in Windows?

yes, as I mentioned above.
