Akemi, We got the wireless working in that computer. We followed your suggestions to check the driver and also went through the bug report at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484406. Thanks.

Do you see available wireless connections? Use the iwlist command if necessary. Or is it when you attempt to make a connection that it failed? Could it be a security setup/password issue? If/when using NetworkManager, do you get a request for the keyring password? etc. Akemi
