I need a particularly detailed answer, given my low level of expertise. I have just installed Fedora 6 on my new laptop, a Sony VAIO SZ360P/C Notebook with Intel Centrino. While a wired internet connection works, I can not find a way to set up a wireless connection. I have tried a number of things, already. I checked that my wireless network is working and I have no reasons to suspect a hardware problem. Following what I have read on various forums, I have tried to install a wireless driver, only to get totally lost with various other problems, like the fact that yum and gcc seem not to work (even though I see that both of them are installed), and others. It is hard to believe that the matter must be so complicated. So, my question is: is there a step by step, guide on how to set up the wireless? It has to be very detailed, because I am an absolute beginner and even the most obvious aspects of Linux are not obvious to me. If such guide does not exist, and someone has the patience to make one, I would immensely appreciate that. Thank you very much!
