Re: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless Card

Gordon,
For what I see your card is recognized and the drivers loaded. You can
veryfy this by cat /etc/modprobe.conf.
I also see that is looking for an IP sent by a DHCP server which is
good. I see that tries to get for itself an ipv6 address. Is your
router/dhcp giving out IPv6 address at  your home or organization. If
not disable it globally on /etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes
NETWORKING_IPV6=no
HOSTNAME=my box

I had this card working since FC1, the only issue I had during the
first three releases of FC was I had to load the firmware, now this is
no longer an issue. I only had an issue with it on Fedora 9 because of
I had installed gnome NetworkManager, which I usally avoid. So my
system recognized but it didn't attach to my access point
automatically at home like it used to do. This laptop is my tftp
roaming desktop and my tftp server to retrieve/send Cisco routers &
switches configurations so I use it heavily. What I did was to remove
(yum erase NetworkManager) and it automatically connected at home and
when I go to work if I need to connect wirelessly I run a scrip with
the iwconfig commands and works  as it used to do. This is my script
when I need to connect to any site on my job:
#!/bin/bash
#Wireless connection script for my job site
#Author: Ed Landaveri
iwconfig mode Managed
iwconfig essid myjobssid
dhclient
echo $?
exit


Hope this will help. Regards
