Got a laptop with both an l Ethernet connection and a wireless connection.
During the install I only configured the Ethernet connection with a static ip.
So that worked. I could connect to my internal lan and do yum updates.
Now I want to get the wireless working but find that in the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory there is only a
ifcfg-eth0 (and ifcfg-lo). There is nothing like wlan0 or ifcfg-eth1.
When is the configuration file for the wireless card suppose to be
created or how do I create it?
In the output of dmesg are the following lines:
iwl4965: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN driver for Linux, 1.3.27kds
