What's the output of the following commands when executed in a terminal?

lsusb
lspci

Next, if you could attach your 'dmesg' output that could help us figure out what's going on with the wifi card itself during the connection.

Comment 2 Pavel Stehule 2010-05-15 04:58:50 UTC
It work form 50% well - I see list of accesable wifi nets - only I cannot to connect. Fedora 12 and 11 working well - I use a kernels compiled http://www.fedora-netbook.com/(In reply to comment #1)

Comment 6 Dan Williams 2010-05-18 00:16:34 UTC
So you appear to have a RaLink RT2860 card, which has a very new driver upstream that may not quite work yet for your hardware.  Moving to kernel to track that driver's progress.

Comment 7 Randy Yates 2010-05-30 03:04:05 UTC
I'm also having a similar problem. Using f12 and kmod-rt2860, i can't get NM to connect to my WPA2/personal hidden wireless network. I can manually run iwlist and get scans, so i have some functionality. I'm going to try to attach the /var/log/messages output from NetworkManager next.

Comment 10 James 2010-10-12 18:55:00 UTC
I had this problem as well on an EEEPC 901 running Fedora 13, but it is resolved with the netbook kernel.

Comment 11 Bug Zapper 2011-06-02 14:06:51 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '13'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 12 Bug Zapper 2011-06-27 16:19:21 UTC
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
