Help getting WiFi working on laptop

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings,

 

I’ve got Fedora 13 installed on my new Dell Studio laptop.  I haven’t had any other issues with the install, and wired networking is working fine.

 

I can’t, however, get wireless networking to work.  The card in the laptop is a " Intel Centrino WiMAX 6250 Advanced-N +”.  It appears that the system has recognized the card, but I don’t see any WAPs listed in the network menu at the top-right of the screen.

 

I’ve followed section 5.3 of the Wireless Guide from the Fedora 13 docs collection.  Everything looks right, up to step 5 where I’m supposed to see my WAPs.  Two other laptops in the house see my WAP as well as a few others in the neighborhood.  My new Linux box sees nada.

 

I’m thinking that maybe this card is too new and isn’t really supported even though the system recognizes it.  Looking at the driver lists referenced via section 5.2 of the Wireless Guide, I don’t see it listed.

 

Can anyone tell me for sure if the Intel 6250 is supported?  If so, any ideas as to what’s going on with my new box?

 

TIA for any help.
