At any rate, I run Fedora Core 4 on my laptop wth wireless G, but my wifi adapter requires windows drivers so I had to use Ndiswrapper. Assuming the hardware is already setup. There are gui tool for setting the key: http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/config-tools/redhat-config-network.html This was included with my install of FC4. I don't remember which exactly where, but if you/he looks through the menus, you'll find one for configuring the network. (Oh, I'm also assuming he's running the Gnome desktop since that's the default. The UI will be different for other desktops.) It will have all the known adapters listed, but you may have to add the wireless. It's pretty easy, then you configure it and specify setting like encryption key. Someone will need to know the root password to change network settings. Oh, one tip is to set the wireless to connect on boot. There are also command line tool: wireless-tools. I'm guessing you won't want to use them, but it's not hard: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html basic network commands: http://openskills.info/topic.php?ID=194 -j __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
