I think the problem is the same in both RH9 and FC2. I'm at a hotel right now and connected manually using iwconfig and dhclient. When I try to use the network gui for public wifi it NEVER works, even though I use it at home for my home network. I've given up and just do it manually - it's easy enough. The "scan" function does not work with my wireless card/driver (DLINK 650 with the prism 2 chipset). I have asked questions related to this problem numerous times but no one has shed much light on it. Rick B.
