Go wireless with Fedora Core-7

[prassoon]

I installed FC7 on my Acer Travelmate 382 TCi with Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG. (wireless router is D-Link DI-624+A.).

FC7 is detecting the card and status is showing ok. Just not able to activate the connection.

On my windows XP I've configured a secured access with SSID and WEP enabled. How can i do the same on FC7? I'm not smart with linux... Can anyone please help me? Do we have any guides available...

Thanks in advance folks....

If you are a KDE user, I would follow this guide ( I am assuming that your wifi card is using the atheros chipset as do most DLink cards):

additionally I would install wassistant and/or kwifimanager to help configure your wifi.

Its not. He stated quite clearly that its an intel 2200.
And drivers are already installed.

/sbin/chkconfig NetworkManager on
/sbin/service NetworkManager start

Click on the icon that appears in your notification area and select your wireless network. It will ask you for your network settings.
