Avoid like a plague. Sometimes this is the last resort but getting into that voluntarily is plain stupid. > download NetworkManager? That would be definitely helpful. Is it not there by default? Maybe you should just turn on NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher services? > 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, > Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter 'madwifi' driver for Atheros cards works fine for years - at least on i386. It cannot be included in Fedora due to a presence of "binary blob" HAL. Recompiled binaries for Fedora kernels you will find on http://rpm.livna.org/ (Livna recently had hard disk failure and may not be yet in a full swing) or on http://atrpms.net/. Both provide yum repositories (and track rawhide). Michal Michal, and Dr. Diesel Thanks, for your help. Now I can connect to a wireless network with Linux. Needed to install knetworkmanager for KDE. Gnome is busted, does not want to load only gkrellm and Background show up. Sound does not work. I did it the hard way, through madwifi sources and thus wireless Works!!! I appreciate your suggestions and helpful comments.
