Re: FC4 T2 and Dell M70

You might want to try the "testers" list rather than this list, since you are using FC4 T2.

Peace,

Has any one had luck installing Fedora (3 or 4) on a Dell M70 laptop? I just got one and wiped Window out first thing. I was quite disappointed to learn sound and wireless were not supported out in FC4. The audio is AC97 and the wireless is a Intel PRO/Wireless 2915 a/b/g. I have searched the Internet and found where other users were able to get Suse or Ubuntu installled will little trouble. I have Fedora 4 T2 installed. No sound, I am still searching the Internet to get this addressed. The wireless is very weird though. The system does not see the built in wireless card at all. When I insert my old Xircom wireless card the builtin Intel shows up - what's up with that? My Xircom is not even listed. I have down loaded the drivers from Intel and installed as indicated, still not luck.

My quesion is this, why does the builtin wireless card not show up until I put my old Xircom card? Also why does the Xircom no work? I am downloading the Suse live CD to see what happens. I would rather stick with Fedora if I can get it to work with little effort. I realize FC4 is still in testing so if I need to file a bug report I will.

Thank you,
