Fedora

[akashee]

How do I enable my Wireless on Fedora? I just got Fedora working and I've never used Linux before. I went to configure my WiFi to use the network I'm currently on and it's not showing up under any lists. Help?

If you have never used Linux before, you are going to have a difficult time with LXDE. Might I suggest a new-user-friendly distribution such as Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop until you get some experience.

Or, if you want to forge ahead on this path, you could install NetworkManager or wicd, both of which are fairly popular.

hi Marty,

I am also using the Fedora LXDE. When I connect the wife from its hardware interruptor, a dialog appears to set it up the first time and, when it has been configured, in the subsequent times, it asks me for recovering the password from the keystore. I also could not find any wizard or option in the menus.

I have checked in root mode, and in command line, in a terminal box, there is a command 'system-config-network'. It opens a wizard for networks. Check if the interface appears already, otherwise try to add it. Hope it can help.

If you dare with command line, try this:

Good luck!

When it works (which is most of the time), I use NetworkManager when running Fedora. In order for the little applet to appear in the system tray, you'll also need to install (if it's not already present) NetworkManager-gnome.

When NetworkManager throws a hissy fit, I switch to manual networking. As root in a terminal window:

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop
/etc/init.d/network start
iwconfig wlan0 essid <my-wireless-router's-essid>
dhclient wlan0
