Hello I tried to yum mac80211 but it doesn't work on FC6. I have a Sony
laptop with FC6 and would like to get the WiFi working on it.
Where can I learn about doing this?
mac80211 and iwl3945 are not separate packages. They are in the kernel
itself. The newest testing version I know of is in Dave Jones's
repository here,
http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/fc7/RPMS.kernel/i386/
it's version kernel-2.6.21-1.3232.fc7. As far as I can tell, the
iwl3945 driver is quite a bit better than the original F7 kernel. I
still have a lot of trouble making NetworkManager work, but the
iwl3945 itself does seem to connect much better.
