Description of problem: The wireless card is not recognized. As a result, wireless can not be enabled in F7 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. wireless card not recognized. no entry in /system-config-network 2. 3. Actual results: nothing happens Expected results: wireless should connect seamlessly Additional info: appears that a fix involves rolling out a new kernel, as per http://carrot.hep.upenn.edu/wiki/doku.php?id=thinkpad:start [cut-and-paste from there follows} Wireless Network Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN. ATrpms has kernel modules for mac80211 and iwlwifi, but they do not work at the moment. Not user-friendly yet, but this worked for me: Begin by rolling your own kernel cd /usr/src wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.22.1.tar.bz2 tar xjf linux-2.6.22.1.tar.bz2 cd linux-2.6.22.1 Configure the kernel… make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.6.22.1 mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.22.1.img 2.6.22.1 Edit grub & reboot into the new kernel cd /usr/src wget http://intellinuxwireless.org/mac80211/downloads/mac80211-9.0.3.tgz tar xzf mac80211-9.0.3.tgz cd mac80211-9.0.3 make patch_kernel cd ../linux-2.6.22.1 Change the kernel configuration to use the new wireless stack (CONFIG_MAC80211=m) and make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install rm -f /boot/bzImage-2.6.22.1 /boot/initrd-2.6.22.1.img cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.6.22.1 mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.22.1.img 2.6.22.1 Reboot again cd /usr/src wget http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-0.1.8.tgz tar xzf iwlwifi-0.1.18.tgz cd iwlwifi-0.1.18 make && make install Make sure you have the right firmware for this driver version, see http://intellinuxwireless.org. Now modprobe iwl4965 should work, and NetworkManager then shows the available wireless networks.
You just need to install iwl4965-firmware and run a kernel like 2.6.22.2-57.fc7 or newer (possibly only in updates-testing at the moment).
