See the linked line in: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-6000.c;h=af505bcd7ae0977f1095fc02ce8b9553f70dd86d;hb=HEAD#l601 They have been supported since the 6th of May last year. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=1808972f16adba592ceb10a47dee42ef8ee39cee This support hit mainline in 2.6.36. May I suggest that you upgrade your kernel or, failing that, use compat-wireless. You should also make sure that you have the firmware installed, it's in the iwl6000g2b-firmware package. (See: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/iwl6000g2b-firmware) That said, given that F14 ships the firmware for this device, I'm guessing it's supported somehow. You *did* install the firmware, right? Next time you submit a bug report like this, make sure that you: 1. Include the dmesg output for an attempt to load the driver. In your case the output of "dmesg | grep iwl" would be a good start. Completely unloading the driver and then re-loading it while recording the output would be better. 2. Include lspci-n output as this means that we can match up your card with the list supported in the driver - given the number of PCI ids out there, we cannot match a text description like you provided to an actual card as there's likely to be several different versions out there with the same name, but differing IDs. If yours has a slightly different ID than the officially supported ones, then it won't work. 3. Don't treat us like idiots.
