Then start NetworkManager and the NetworkManagerDispatcher services. Fire up your graphical desktop and start the NetworkManagerInfo application. I have no idea if the right/latest orinoco_cs drivers are in FC4. Doing a modinfo orinoco_cs doesn't give much of a clue. Today there was a post on the fedora-test list that NetworkManager-0.5.0 for FC4 was released for testing. Regards, Patrick
