Network problem in fedora 16 -help requested

[sreeku]

Recently I have installed FC 16. But After I made some upgradation, I could not see the network icon in the Desktop. The network connection and internet connecttion is not there. I was using FC12 till this fresh installation. I run the certain commands and the results are as below.

[root@snehal system-connections]# lspci -v

Both the wired and wireless cards are visible in lspci , but it is invisible at all other places. ifconfig is not showing it.

[root@snehal system-connections]# ifconfig

This is the same problem that I am having with Fedora 16 although I can get my network up and running by starting up in recovery mode. I really do not want to have to do that each time .


system is: Intel core duo processor 1.6 Mhz
2Gb ram, 90 Gb HDD

I had trouble with wireless connection in F16 (64-bit) when I upgraded to kernel linux 3.3.7 (I think - it was an odd version kernel anyway). Switched to F17 (64-bit) which updated the network manager and kernel linux 3.4.0.

If you are able to connect via hardwire and update network manager and kernel linux (hopefully in F16), this might resolve your connection trouble.
