Is wireless enabled? I suppose it's trivial, but I haven't learned how to check the BIOS. (I haven't done the fedora installation myself and so far I have only been a user). About the wireless being enabled, I answer your other questions below. >(2) Is there a hardware power switch for the >wireless? Is it powered on? (If there's no indicator >light, then try just toggling the wireless power and >booting again.) there is a switch for the wireless and it is on. I know that the wireless is activated because I have dual boot and the wireless works on Windows. >(3) What is the output of lspci -v? I copy it at the end of this message. In it, I see a relevant piece of information: "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection" >(4) Is this machine dual-boot? Does the card work >in Windows? yes, as I mentioned above.
