When Linux starts, it is probably starting networking which establishes a connection with a wireless router. When it does that, if you have DHCP enabled, the router assigns your machine an IP address. You can find out what the machine's address is using /sbin/iwconfig. Alternatively, you can set up a computer to use a static IP. When networking starts, the router will allow you to use that address, provided it is not already in use. Either way, you'll have an IP address if you use a wireless connection or a wired connection. It makes no difference either way. Once, a long time ago, I installed Linux on a wireless machine using ftp. The difficulty at that time was that I had to install ndiswrapper first to make the wireless card work. Nowadays, it is getting easier as some wireless cards work straight out of the box with the kernel. Hope this helps. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
