Fedora Core 5 WiFI config? (Linux experts please)

by alphatech9 . Updated 19 years, 3 months ago

I just set up a dual boot with XP and Fedora Core 5 on my HP dv5000 laptop.

Everything went perfect, and works perfect……..almost..

Right now I’ve got no wireless. It won’t recognize the card, and I would guess it is a driver issue.

But I have read conflicting things. Some say the drivers are already on my copy of Fedora and I just need to shut down the ethernet, and turn on the WLAN in the terminal, and it will recognize it.

But others are telling me I need to totally rebuild the kernal. Still others are saying that all I need are the drivers….

I don’t feel like doing all three things unless I have to. So I was hoping someone might have “been there” and knows the easiest way to do it.
