karl,

specifically, what version of the sony laptop do you have. also, what
version of linux/FC are you running.

also, are you trying to connect to a static/dymanic wireless access point.
in other words, is your laptop a dynamic/static IP??

    This is hard because we lack some essential data, and no place to
find it. The first step is to name your wifi hardware on your computer.

    The second step is to determine which module(s) you need and what to
call the main one. I was fooling around with ipw2200 when what I needed
was ANOTHER kernel and the magic name ath_pci Is there anywhere a person
can get this information? I don't even know what to call it :-!

    If it's on Google please don't tell me how many useless pages it's
on. Tell me just one.

Hi my laptop is a SONY and it is old enough to have an early wifi hardware.
