Wireless Not Showing Up In Network Settings

[MNML9]

Hi guys, well when I first installed fedora 15 my wireless internet was working fine, and then out of the blue the option to select a wireless network wont show up.

Im sorry to be one of those people who register and there first post is a question, but since fedora 15 is new I couldnt find any information on my issue.

So basically, If I go into Network Settings I have two choices in the left hand tab. Wired, and Network proxy. Yesterday I also had wireless, Since the issue I have updated everything but still have no luck.

I am having this issue on a emachine em350 netbook, I am unable to post a link to it as I get a error since im new and not allowed to post links.

Can anybody guide me in the right direction to fixing this issue?

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks all.

Heya

Sorry to bump this post, but i'm having a very similar issue.
Acutaly the same, just that i havent seen my Wireless adapter at all. (neither on liveCD nor on dvd install)

As i just changed (well, wanting to) 100% to Fedora i'm missing something like a "Browse available wlans"-function.
Is there a script or .run/.rpm or soemthing i have manualy to add in order to get my wlan to work?

Thanks in advance.

Laptop by Toshiba -> Satelite L670
Network adapter: Realtek (both wired an wireless)

If this happend after updating Fedora 15 on a 32 bit installation it could be related to recent regression in NetworkManager.

What worked for me was to downgrade NetworkManager and now I am waiting until bug #708445 is resolved before I update again. You can read how I downgraded NetworkManager here:

In other threads other have solved the issue by deleting some files.

Edit: I am unsure this is related problem or not. I had an error message when I tried to change network settings.

Had what i believe is a similar situation... upgrade from F14 x64 to F15 x64 and my home wireless network (WPA2) didn't show up (mind you... I used it to PERFORM the upgrade)...

Finally got frustrated and noticed a choice of "old, out-dated Gnome" as opposed to "New and Spiffy Gnome3" on the login screen... decided, "What the heck..." and tried it. Clicked on wireless networks... and "hidden" and PRESTO my home network was there... and connected w/o a problem. Logged out and switched BACK to the "New and Spiffy Gnome3" and Viola! ..."music" to my notebook's "networking ears"...

Something seems amiss with hidden networks and the Gnome 3 just after "installation" (or upgrade in my case). Once it got a "nudge" from "tried and true Gnome" the "new kid" started to "play nice".

Yes, Fedora 15 ships with both the old and new network setting application because the new one still lack some features. Open gnome shell (Windows key) and search for the application called "Network Connections".

Uh... well a tad hard now (since it appears all the time now), but there wasn't anywhere to "trigger" (if you will) connecting to a network that was NOT broadcasting its SSID. The only networks w/in range were "hidden". It wasn't until I switched back to "classic Gnome" that the "connect to hidden networks" appeared under wireless. After I connected to that I logged out and came back in with Gnome 3 and now the hidden network appears. Also now the other network (still unknown to it) appears as "Other...". Prior to that, it only showed (as best as I can recall) as unavailable.
