Hi Paolo, It looks like you will enjoy NetworkManager: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f12/en-US/html/sect-Release_Notes-Networking.html Regards, David 2009/11/21 Paolo Galtieri <pgaltieri@xxxxxxxxx>: > I have a laptop running F11 and I have been having strange problems with > wireless. > > At home I have a wireless network setup using WPA authentication and I can > connect to it without problems. Yesterday I was at the airport which has a > free public access wireless. I turned off wpa_supplicant, configured the > wireless network for auto everything except the ssid which was set to the > airport's wireless ssid. I started the network and ran iwlist wlan0 scan to > see what networks where available. About a dozen showed up, only a few of > which where the airport's wireless. Despite seeing available wireless > networks I never succeeded in connecting to any. I tried specifying the > channel number, nothing. I booted up my laptop on Windows XP and it > connected immediately. > > I arrived at my parents' house last night and tried to connect to their > wireless network. I had the exact same problem. In my parents' case iwlist > wlan0 scan showed only 1 network, theirs. I have been able to connect to my > parents' wireless fine previously. I booted up on Windows XP and I connected > immediately. This email is being sent from XP so I don't have access to the > logs, but what I saw from running wireshark and tailing the messages file > was that my laptop was sending out DHCP request and discover messages, but I > never saw any replies. > > Since I can connect with XP the problem is not the hardware, does any one > have any ideas as to what to try? Any thoughts are appreciated. > > Is wireless support improved in F12 and would this be an option? > > Thanks, > Paolo > > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines > -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
