Using the Fedora 11 Network-Manager, I would like help in activating my Do you have the driver and firmware for your wireless adaptor? My Toshiba Satellite A305 has the same wireless adapter built in. When I first installed Fedora 9 on it, I had to download the appropriate driver/firmware for it. One of the key components is the iwl3945-firmware package that is available using yum and the one of the Fedora 11 repositories. I use yumex and the RPM package can be found in System Environment ==> Kernel (when Category is set to RPM Groups). Check to see if the package is already installed or whether you need to download and install it via yum or yumex. You can also use the Hardware Browser app hwbrowser to see what driver is currently loaded for your wireless adapter. If all else fails, I got my wireless adapter working by googling for Fedora, the device name (PRO/Wireless 3945ABG or just 3945ABG) and/or iwl3945. Some combination of these keywords lead me to a webpage that helped my get the card working in Fedora 9. Since then, the package remained through an upgrade to Fedora 10 and had to be selected again (via yumex) when Fedora 11 was installed as a fresh install. --
