I reinstalled FC10 and all current updates as I was having some video app issues, and the reinstall fixed that problem, but I'm still having problems getting my wifi card to work.

It's a Belkin card (B43 drivers), and the drivers seem to load OK, and I get the boot screen prompts (where it shows if anything failed, or is OK), and everything is OK, except the part where the wifi card tries to get an IP address.

I currently have no lights on the wifi card at all, but it works in an XP machine with no problems (other than XP itself).

Everything (as far as I can tell) is running under Network Manager.

Thanks in advance!!

This is the second this this has happened.....

First time... I was posting that FC10 wasn't detecting my external monitor or kb/mouse. As I was posting, I realized nothing was connected on the back of the docking station. I connected and all was good. (this message ended up never being posted)

As I was posting this thread, I popped in a Cisco AiroNet card I had laying around (took out the Belkin), and in 2 seconds I was on my wifi network!

Guess my belkin doesn't like Linux....
