opteron 64bit machine and it has integrated Realtek
802.11b/g Wireless Networking.
I do not know how to tell Fedora 8 to connect to my home wireless network.
I been looking since I got the laptop, yesterday, in the internet but I have
not found anything so far.
Any ideas? Do I need download any special programs?
Thanks, :-)
Make sure you have HAL, D-Bus, WPA_supplicant, NetworkManager, and
NetworkManagerDispatcher all running. Although, for some stupid reason,
Fedora is shipping the SVN version (0.7) of the latter two utilities,
which broke some of the userland apps (e.g. KNetworkmanager). I really
don't understand why someone would ship what amounts to an alpha version
of an app when the stable version actually works well (though less
featureful).
I have held up upgrading my laptop to F8 for just this reason. The
stable version of NM works just fine, but I don't know what kind of
hassle it is to back-level to that version (0.5x or whatever everyone
else ships).
Wifi is the only bugaboo I've heard of (or experienced) in F8 so far. My
wife, being the well-behaved test subject that she is, likes it over FC7.
