Re: New to Fedora, struggling with wireless

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

 



Hi,

thanks.. "dmesg | grep ipw2200" has no effect.. Here
is what I did:

[root@localhost ~]# dmesg | grep ipw2200
[root@localhost ~]# dmesg | grep ipw2100
[root@localhost ~]# 
[root@localhost ~]# 

So, I guess the wireless card is not even detected.  I
am sure the wireless card works, because I have dual
boot WindowsXP/Fedora6, and in Windows the wireless
works.

Any suggestion?

Thanks again, 

Cecilia
