Prior to installing Linux, when I was on Windows 7, I would just click on the network icon in the lower right corner of Windows and put in the SSID and password and I would be able to connect to the Internet wirelessly (my apartment complex provides free Internet). I connect the same way, to the Internet, with my IPad. How do I do the same in Linux via wiFi? I don't have a wireless card as far as I know (tried lspci | grep Wireless..showed nothing). It only shows "wired" as an available option to connect to The Internet for me via Fedora 17? > FWIW, the corresponding card in my ThinkPad is as follows: > 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300 > (So it's not called Wireless in this case.) > > Compare to my wired device: > 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82567LM Gigabit Network > Connection (rev 03) > > Chris > As Chris already pointed out, please check the entire output of lspci/lsusb to see what wireless hardware you're system is using[1] Mostly, they work out of the box. If they don't, please take a look at this web page[2]. It has information on getting most cards to work.
