Wireless not support in the last kernel

[peoklin]

I have update my kernel,but the wireless would not load when system log in.It is a new function or not,How Can I install the wireless driver software.
In the old kernel I would see the wlan0,which automatic load.
Any help is appreciated!

Nǐhǎo

Whats the output of:
ip addr

[peoklin]

ok,there is no information about wlan0,which is my wirelss!

Yes, but for some odd reason you got a wlan1 :D
And even more weird, its already up..

if it wasnt already up, you'd do so with:
ifconfig wlan1 up
iwlist
iwconfig wlan1 essid $mySpot key s:$mySpotPw
dhclient wlan1

Where as:
* $mySpot is your wifi.
* s:$mySpotPw is your ASCI pw (if its HEX, remove the "s:")

Hope this helps

EDIT:
Whats the output of
lspci | grep Wireless

[DBelton]

err. whoa..

Are you purposefully running rawhide? OR have you somehow accidentally updated to a rawhide kernel?

Either way, you are running with a F17 (rawhide) kernel

My guess is that the weird things happening with having a wlan1 but no wlan0 are due to udev rules that were created that assign the devices based upon a hardware address. I had my network card assignments messed up like that before and had to go into the udev rules and find where they were being assigned and move things around.

I believe mine were in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules or something similar.

I have two wireless card,wlan0 is integrate in the broad , wlan1 is hot-plug.Because wlan0 do not work with last kernel,Normally when machine load kernel, my wlan0 light would be flash, but now it is off.

when I used old kernel , It work normally,So I think it is some different,

[sea]

Yeah, well, DBelton said, you're runing F17 kernel.
We're at F16 currently, so this is not for general support but for rawhide. (i'm sure some kind mod will move the thread).

Just another question, whats your "used older" kernel?

[peoklin]

I think the last kernel is supported.
[David@localhost ~]$ uname -r
3.2.0-0.rc4.git5.1.fc17.x86_64


and so the old kernel is kernel-3.2.0-0.rc4.git2.1.fc17,it is supported well.

Hi All,

Running an HP laptop and when I loaded kernel 3.1.6 my wireless function quit working. Wireless still works with kernel 3.1.5-6.

Moved to Rawhide.
