Help with internal modem

maditsi · #1 3rd March 2010, 03:11 PM

Hi,

I'm not sure how to get my internal modem to work even where to start looking. I have created a mobile connection which uses asks for which country and service provider i am using. Not much detail except the number *99# and APN set to Internet.

I see my wireless network that I use from work which works fine and nothing else. Where and what do I look for troubleshoot the problem. Im running Fedora 12 on Lenovo T400.

The command lspci returns the following:

Try

Code:

su -
yum install iwl{5000,5150,6000}-firmware

One of these firmwares might apply to your 5300 WiFi card. Reboot and check if it works. NM is fine now.
