[SOLVED] Fedora 17 broken eth and wireless

[mcmcne01]

I installed f17 on a new Lenovo Ideapad Y480 with the Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2200BGN
card.

No wireless or ethernet is recognized.

Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Device 1091 (rev 08)
Network controller: Intel Corporation device 0891 (rev c4)


Anyone have any ideas for getting a connection up?

Not familiar with any issues on that hardware configuration. Did you use a live cd install of F17? And if so, were you able to connect while in the live cd environment?

If you were able to connect with the F17 live cd, a fresh install (retry) may be the easiest solution.
