Sometime or other, someone will ask some additional "standard" questions:
- what does lspci show about that device (should show the chipset --
maybe rtl8185 or somesuch).
- does dmesg output a line recognizing the device? Is there any
"interesting" messages in the line or two following the kernel's
detection of the device?
- does lsmod show any module loaded that like like rtXXXX or rtlXXXX?
- have you tried a search combining the terms
linux wireless gateway mx6431 <put realtek chipset here>
you may want to add fedora
If it is the rtl8185, I understand there have been problems. Maybe there
is a ndiswrapper solution?
Try to get more info, then come back.
If the lspci of lsmod or dmesg commands are not familiar, ask (or try man).
