Has any one had luck installing Fedora (3 or 4) on a Dell M70
laptop? I just got one and wiped out Windows first thing. I
was quite disappointed to learn sound and wireless were not supported in FC4. The audio is AC97 and the wireless is a
Intel PRO/Wireless 2915 a/b/g. I have searched the Internet and
found where other users were able to get Suse or Ubuntu installled will
little trouble. I am a Fedora fan though. I was surprised to find no sound and no wireless after installing FC 4 T2.
I am still searching the Internet to get the sound working.
The wireless is very weird though. The system does not see the
built in wireless card at all. When I insert my old Xircom
wireless card the builtin Intel (Pro/Wireless 2915) shows up - what's up with that?
My Xircom is not even listed. I down loaded the drivers from
Intel and installed as indicated, still not luck.
My quesion is this, why does the builtin wireless card not show up
until I put in my old Xircom card? Also why does the Xircom not
work? I tired the Suse live CD, no sound but the wireless card is
seen. I was told if I installed the full workstation version of
Suse the sound would work as well. I would rather stick with
Fedora if I can get it to work. I realize FC4 is still in testing
so if I
need to file a bug report I will.
I got all the updates with up2date before I posted this message.
Thank you,
