I have been doing exactly this with three different laptops for quite a while. I do not need Networkmanager at all. I use wpa_supplicant which works like a charm once set up properly. The details of how I went over to this method are given in my web page at: http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~mdc1/fedora_wireless.html I have one machine with ipw2200, another with iwl3945 and a third using a usb wireless dongle. The key is making sure that the wireless drivers are working first - then set up wpa_supplicant and then switch that on during boot. I used WEP initially for tests and then went over to WPA - you can set it up so it will auto connect to specified APs. Hope this helps. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
