Thanks Brain, Found the 2230 driver, but am now stuck on this part? (install the packages that install the actual wireless firmware)..Your right, the driver files can't be read, so I must need some software for the drivers to install/work??..anyone no where to find this package and/or a how to get these drivers to install?....arghhh this Linux experiment is really starting to backfire.

You will also need to install the packages that install the actual wireless firmware, which should contain a microcode file named something like this. iwlwifi-2030-ucode-18.168.6.1 It seems as if there is an iwl2030-firmware package in updates-testing, you will need to run: yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install iwl2030-firmware as root, that should then allow your wireless to be detected and to work. This is a pretty new chipset BTW, hence Fedora is still catching up. -- Brian Morrison _______________________________________________ laptop mailing list laptop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/laptop _______________________________________________ laptop mailing list laptop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/laptop
