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,
Jamie Bohr
