Description Thomas Keller 2006-03-18 15:35:46 UTC

Description of problem:
I downloaded and burned the boot.iso for FC5T3 and started a Network-based 
install. Unfortunately, anaconda didn't recognize my WLAN device in text-mode, 
as it only looked out for eth0. I still have a Realtek Ethernet Adapter in my
computer, but this one was not connected to any network. Is it possible to
offer the user a list of network devices from which he can choose one with
w

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from the boot.iso image
2. Select new Install
3. Select Network HTTP Install

...one with which he likes to connect to?

(Sorry, somehow this got lost)

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2006-03-21 16:24:42 UTC

Does it work post-install?  What driver does it end up using?

Comment 3 Thomas Keller 2006-03-21 16:31:06 UTC

Well, I think this is then a more general problem here. It *used* to work with
wlan-ng with many manual work, but I never got the hardware run stable there (it
disconnects randomly). Currently I'm using the ndiswrapper with a binary driver,
with which it does run stable, but I suppose this is not an option for FC.

Indeed, we can't really support it in anaconda if the kernel doesn't support it.
