Hey buddies,
I have just upgraded from Red Hat 9 to Fedora. I had
this problem in Red Hat 9 too.
I had thought that I could get rid of this problem but
no.
I have a wireless connection at my home. When I log in
Linux with wireless connection at home, there is no
authentication and internet connection works fine.
I dont even have to write a SSID, I think it takes
that automatically.
Now, when I bring my laptop to the university, where
they have SSID "mobilenet", when I log in Linux and
try to open a browser with www.google.com, the
internet does not work neither ping works.
When I open the Internet Configuration Wizard from the
System tools and make a new Wirless Connection and try
to activate it I get the following errors:
--------------------------------------------------
cannot get driver information: Operation not supported
Determining IP information for eth0:1...SIOCSIFFLAGS:
Cannot assign requested address
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
failed.
----------------------------------------------------
When I go to a shell and write
$service network restart
I get the following errors:
root]# service network restart
Shutting down interface wifi0:
[ OK ]
Shutting down loopback interface:
[ OK ]
Setting network parameters:

Bringing up loopback interface:

[FAILED]
Bringing up interface wifi0: Cannot get driver

Determining IP information for wifi0... failed.

[root@localhost root]#
---------------------------------------------------
I really dont understand how to fix this and would
appreciate if anyone can help me get around with that.
The card I use is Xircom Wireless 340 Series which is
recommended by Cisco at our University. I had to
install its drivers in Red Hat 9 but no need to
install drivers for Fedora arose.
Thanks,
Sincerely,
Shalendra
