During that process, you will see an option for the type of network - select managed (i.e you will be using something like wpa2-psk ,ccmp ..etc) and also be sure that the kernel module for your wifi device is loaded: lsmod | grep ?????? the-kernel-recognized-name-of-your-wifi-card if not, then sudo modprobe ?????? (I do not know your card's name). Also, be sure you remove the option -u from /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant before you restart the network. Once you finish, be sure to do sudo service network restart Cheers, JD -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
