I have a short tutorial on WiFi configuration for Fedora Core in my Linux installation tutorial, Section 4.4, at http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/linux.html It includes some commands you can use to help diagnose the problem. One thing I would suggest is that initially you try things out at a hot spot that does NOT require authentication, just to eliminate one source of problems when you are troubleshooting. Free hotspots are listed on the Web, e.g. http://www.wififreespot.com/ca.html for California. The listings don't say whether you need authentication or not, but you can call them and find out. Better yet, some public libraries offer free wireless access. For example, the Fairfield Civic Center Library does; see http://www.solanolibrary.com/solano.cfm?page=pressroom/release022604 The Web says that it's coming to the downtown Vacaville Public Library too.
