i just installed fedora and i like it so far, but i&#039;m having
trouble with connecting wirelessly.

fedora apparently recognizes the card because the device is listed as
intel pro/wireless or something like that.

when i try to "activate" it with the network configuration tool i get
this:

Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.

Determining IP information for wlan0... failed.
i have tried plugging in my settings for one of my home wireless
routers, but it does not help


I assume you're using Fedora 7 since you don't mention
installing the driver.  This means you're using the iwl3945
driver.  You might like to try the older ipw3945 driver, to do
that:

To /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist add:
blacklist iwl3945
blacklist mac80211

From Freshrpms use yum to install:
ipw3945d ipw3945-firmware dkms-ipw3945

And restart.  The device will be ethX rather than wlanY.
If that works you may want to file a bug for iwl3945
(I believe it should be filed against the kernel).
What model is the card you're using?  Is this a laptop?
