F17 Doesn't Recognize Internet

Hey All,

I'm new to linux and am extremely impressed with most of what I've seen so far, including how helpful you all are on this forum. I've managed to get everything set up properly on my computer, partitions instalation etc etc.

The problem I'm having is that Fedora isn't recognizing any wireless networks at all, and there are tons of them in my apartment community. I have another computer running LinuxMint 14 that works perfectly and acknowledges 7-8 wireless networks at all time. Fedora shows no available connections.

In addition, I tried plugging the cable that usually runs to my router into my computer and it wont acknowledge that either.

I know its not the computer itself because when I boot it in Windows 8, it recognizes all the wireless networks, including mine.

Anyway, I have no idea where to start and would really appreciate any help.

Cheers,
Chris W.

Re: F17 Doesn't Recognize Internet

Is your wireless card recognized? Open a terminal and type
PHP Code:
lspci grep -i network 
If the card is recognized it will be listed.
