I did a clean install of F9 on an HP dv1000 laptop.  IT was smooth,
mostly, and the wire network is good.  The wireless is giving me some
trouble.  lspci shows the intel ipw2200, which has worked on other
systems I've administered.

If I run "/sbin/iwlist scan"
it shows a lot of wireless networks.

Doesn't that mean the wireless networking is turned on?

But network manager doesn't see any wireless networks.  It doesn't try
to join any.

I'm resisting old temptation to run system-config-network, you know what I mean?

The owner points out a wireless network toggle button, and clicking on
it has no effect.  Some older ubuntu newsgroup posts say the LED is
off by default, and there's a thing to turn it on.  But on our Dell
laptops with the same network card, no such magic is needed.

What do you think?



Did you:

# yum install ipw2200-firmware

# rmmod ipw2200
# modprobe ipw2200

Now check the icon.

Good Luck!
