I do have HAL: Name : hal Arch : i386 Version: 0.5.8.1 Release: 6.fc6 I have NetworkManager: Installed Packages Name : NetworkManager Arch : i386 Epoch : 1 Version: 0.6.4 Release: 5.fc6
Now, this machine is an Opteron 64 bits, I see this packages are i386 arch, should I point my yum repository to somewhere else and update my packages? The machine did an automatic update and now when I do the 'lspci' commandI do get to see 'wlan0'. I am getting closer. :-) Make sure you have HAL, D-Bus, WPA_supplicant, NetworkManager, and > NetworkManagerDispatcher all running.
