What driver is this device using? If it's not recognized as a network device by HAL, it won't be seen by NM , and that's usually a driver problem. Please paste in the output of: tree /sys/class/net when the stick is plugged in. Also, can you give the kernel version you're using? As mentioned above, the driver name is "fwlanusb.ko". I'd love to give you the output of the /sys/class/net tree, but sadly the module doesn't build any longer on Fedora7 with later kernels. If the driver isn't in the upstream kernel, it can't really be supported by NetworkManager, usually because non-upstream drivers suck at implementing wireless extensions... In this case the fault is likely with the driver itself not calling the right bits to put itself in sysfs. |
Description of problem: I've an AVM Fritz!WLAN USB stick, and this one works without problems when configured on the commandline via iwconfig. Nevertheless, Networkmanager doesn't recognizes it and thus doesn't show a list of available wireless networks to choose from. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 7 final, WLAN driver from webpage above How reproducible: - modprobe fwlanusb - no choices in Networkmanager Maybe it's a problem because HAL does not recognize the USB stick as wireless "net.80211" device ?
