Wireless network connectivity problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a Dell Inspiron 1545, which has a built-in wireless 
device--though I never used it until recently, being content to use a 
direct wired connection.

A week and a half ago, I took it overseas and there attempted to use a 
wireless hotspot at my hotel. But when I tried to use the Network 
Configuration and Network Device Control applets, nothing operated, nor 
could I find the network, even after typing in the SSID that the hotel 
receptionists provided. My fellow travelers were able to use the 
hotspot, but not I.

And I've noticed that with KDE, those two applets don't even have an 
option to activate or deactivate a network device. The regular Ethernet 
device says "inactive" though I know it's active, because I'm using it 
right now.

What did I do wrong during installation?

What can I do now to get wireless connectivity working? (Say if I want 
to try another local hotspot?)

What should I do when the next iteration of Fedora is released and it's 
time for me to upgrade?

Any help would be appreciated.
