Thank you very much in advanced.
I don't know about the modem. I believe that's a winmodem, which actually relies on some Windows software to work--it's basically a glorified sound card, oddly enough. I have page on wireless on Fedora, but it's for an older Gateaway, using the the Intel 2100 which takes the ipw driver. I know there have been troubles with the Broadcom--you might want to search Fedora forums for solutions. For setting up wireless once you get the card recognized, you can view my page, http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/rhwireless.html Note that there were some issues with startup order in Fedora, making wpa not start properly. Some have had great luck with Network Manager, others have had to disable it. However, I believe it was working better in Fedora 7 tha Fedora 8, though I wouldn't swear to that. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Angel: So, you're back.
