I am trying to connect to my wireless network but I can not. how does one connect to a wireless netowkr through fc5....i have tried using netowkr config, ive been reading about network manager but cant seem to figure out where to get it?
Any ideas?

You may need to add a driver for the wireless card...

When you run "/sbin/ifconfig" do you get any interfaces OTHER than eth0 and lo? If not, then you'll need to add wireless support thru either madwifi or ndiswrapper.

Hello,
First off you need to make sure you have properly installed your wireless adapter drivers.
open a terminal and type:

lspci

This will list your specific type of wireless adapter. that way you know which drivers you will need to install.

BUT FIRST... I would check out this, as it's a good idea to update all of your system packages before proceeding with anything else http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_cor...ion_notes.html

yum -y update

Then post back what your lspci spits out and we will be able to further assist you. People on this forum will definitely be able to get you up and running with just about anything.
