Hello X-Redhat,

You could be right about that. Fedora does not have built-in support for every wireless card. But there is almost always a way to get a driver installed and a connection established. The first step in these wireless journeys is to identify the chipset in your wireless card. The following terminal command may or may not yield a result, but it is the common first step...
Code:
/sbin/lspci | grep Network

Yeah, not all lspci reports use the same words for the wireless device. You can go ahead and just post the entire report of /sbin/lspci. Maybe someone will recognize a wireless device. You may as well post the result of /sbin/lsusb, too. Who knows? Maybe its a USB card. That also may or may not reveal anything useful.
