Dear Friends,
Some weeks ago, my employer gave me a Dell Latitude D820 Laptop with
an Intel Pro Wireless 3945 adapter. I installed FC6 and tried to make
the wireless work, but eventually got the impression that one has to
be a Fedora developer to be able to do that.
Then I heard that under F7, it would be "much easier". So I upgraded
to Fedora 7 Test 4. There are some glitches, especially that the mouse
seems to click on things by itself, but I am not aware how making the
wireless work has become easier. So what exactly got easier?
Fedora 7 has got a new wireless stack which has broader and better
coverage of wireless hardware.
Some of the details about this are at

We are also adding a number of firmware packages and enabling Network
manager by default in the live cd's.
Specifications are at

Do file bug reports for the problems you run across and use fedora-test
list instead of here to discuss test/development issues.
