> As I recall, somebody suggested the OP should look at "the HCL" > to determine the chipset in WiFi devices HCL - Hardware Compatibility List You can get information on this at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HCL?highlight=%28HCL%29 Just follow the links once you get to the page. As stated on the page, since deveopment is progressing so rapidly, HCL's are almost meaningless. > The actual chip set numbers? lspci works well to get information from your system. Also viewing dmesg. To run lspci, you probably need to be root, so either: su - or sudo su - whichever works for you. Once as root, try: #lspci -vv The # saying you are at a prompt as root. the command lspci the parameter is (minus sign and two letter V's, not a W) just do a $man lspci to get the details There is will a lot of content, so you may want to run lspci by itself to see what is there. $dmesg | less provides a LOT of information about your system. Once you know what your wireless card is, such as something by broadcom - you can further specify queries such as: dmesg | grep -i bcm which means send the contents of dmesg to grep and only show the lines that contain the character sequence bcm in any case (upper case or lower case). Good Luck!
